Alex Valle

He was decent but he got away with a lot from the fans by virtue of not being Taylor. I feel we gave him a reasonable amount of game time considering where he is as a player, he got over 1000 minutes of action with 10 starts included in his time here.

I don't think there was ever any hope of him signing for us permanently so if he and Barca are that keen for him to get more playing time elsewhere then it's good we've let him move on so quickly.

 

Honestly didn't see it. He was okay but I'd be kind of miffed if we paid £6m for a player who I don't think would play 50% of the games. I also think £6m should be a player clearly better than Taylor. He isn't starting ahead of Tierney, he knows it, we all know it.

If his name was Taylor he'd be berated on a daily basis.

 

A decent player but really about the same level as Taylor give or take and certainly no way worth spending 6m euro on.

 

Official loan agreement posted on club website, no purchase option included - contrary to reports

 

Good luck young man, pity we had not held onto you for longer.

 

Going to be purchased outright by Como

 

No real surprise. Seems to have found a home, good luck to him.

 

Yep, soon to be official but this outcome was clear - happy for him, wish him luck. He was brave to go out on loans the way he did to earn a starting position

 

He was, think the start of the season use were desperate for a left back and might have got a chance if he stayed around. Don’t think he’d ever reach the level to nail it down for Barca though

I don’t think if he stayed around this season I’d think £6m for him worth it, and I liked him. He was tidy, technically good as you’d expect from a Barca prospect, had potential and will have a steady career but I wouldn’t think that price. Hopefully he proves me wrong, if he does though it will be down to going somewhere he will fulfill that potential. He wasn’t going to get that here, he was struggling behind Taylor and Tierney’s coming in. I feel like that’s me being harsh there, because I * like the boy

 

We'll never know, I feel similarly had he stayed - perhaps he would've started instead of Martin in CL semis, for example

I support the cantera kids, in the end they want to play football and 9/10 I want them to flourish at my club else I love watching from afar kids like Grimaldo grow...I hope for the best for Valle, fun to watch him this season at both Celtic & Como - the contrast in technical setups alone yet adapted just the same, all in one season

Not bad

 

Como 1907 is delighted to announce the permanent signing of Spanish defender Álex Valle from FC Barcelona. The 20-year-old has penned a contract that runs until 2029.

Valle came through the ranks at Barcelona’s famed La Masia academy after joining from CE Sant Gabriel in 2014. He made his debut for Barcelona B in March 2022 and furthered his development with loan spells at FC Andorra and Levante. Last summer, he spent the 2024/25 season on loan at Celtic, making 11 appearances and registering three assists.

Valle joined Como on loan in January and has since made 15 appearances, playing a key role in helping the club secure a historic 10th-place finish in Serie A.

Como 1907’s Sporting Director Carlalberto Ludi commented: “From the very beginning, Alex won us over with his energy, ambition, and talent. By confirming his permanent signing, we are continuing our project to strengthen and develop the squad. We are investing in his significant potential for growth, and we’re confident he will make a very positive impact on the team, as he has already shown.”

Como 1907’s Head Coach Cesc Fàbregas commented: “Álex is a talented young defender, and he has proven it in the last six months. He has integrated perfectly and in a very short time into the team’s mechanisms, showing all his qualities both defensively and offensively. With him Como has secured one of the most interesting talents of his age who will be very important for the team in the future”

On signing, Alex said: “It’s been a great six months. I’ve settled in really well and I’m very happy here. Obviously, the prospect of continuing here in Como fills me with joy and pride. I can’t wait to start next season and give my all for this club.”

 

Was decent but too weak and loose with his touch for me..

He wasn't the right fit for us..

 

Will be forever remembered for that backheel

 

Brilliant at no being greg taylor. Thats about all iv got for him.

 

That not one of the teams in the tournament we're playing in ? Them, Ajax and someone else.
