    Because it would cost significant amount for anyone better than Taylor this way we can see if he’s any good first and means the money spent is less of a risk

    Barça are working on the loan of Alex Valle. The left-back, who has returned on loan from Levante , has negotiated his renewal and is going on loan to Celtic Glasgow, according to MD. In order to leave on loan, the Blaugrana club has extended his contract, which ends in June 2025, for one more season until 2026. The Scottish club will pay the entire fee, which amounts to 1.5 million euros.



    Alex Valle had entered Hansi Flick 's plans during pre-season as a right-back when he plays on the left. His versatility even allowed him to have a great game, although in the two official LaLiga matches against Valencia and Athletic , the youth player saw Gerard Martín get ahead of him.

    The defender had an automatic renewal clause with an expiry date of 1 August. The club could have renewed him automatically, increasing his starting price to 30 million and with a salary increase of more than one million euros, but it did not execute it, dropping the contract to just three million. He has a new one now, although it has not been made official yet.

    Has to be an option surely? Or we get to the end of the season and we have no left backs contracted.

    He plays for Barca and was on loan in La Liga last year might well be a buy option in it better quality than beck I’d say generally happy with this if we do get him in

    I was hoping for more established quality at left back, but if there is an option to buy I'll be pleased

    Just translating replies on X from Barca fans. They don’t seem best pleased about this. Which is good.

    The Peter Lawell difficulty setting on Champ Manager sell 20mil of sales to get a loan in lol!

    Na all joking aside I was expecting at least 1 loan coming in this week. Doubt there's an option to buy is only downside.

    Possibly why they've extended his contract

    Ooft he's absolute quality. An option would be a randy marsh, but delighted to get someone of his standard in regardless.

    Think he was out of contract next summer, so they'd have lost him for free.

    Extending his contract for another year and adding in an option to buy would make sense.

    Because Barca can’t afford to let players go for free

    Because sometimes it works that way. I don't really think we'll have an option but I've seen it before where a club extend a contract just so they can add an option and get some cash.

    Did a similar situation not happen with CCV at Spurs? I seem to remember he signed a new contract with them before the LTB with us … maybe wishful thinking
