Alejandro Balde shone in the 202-23 season and became one of the best full-backs in LaLiga. Unfortunately, in the 2023-24 season he struggled to return to his good form, having started off on the wrong foot. When we saw the defender we knew he could be again, an injury kept him off the pitch for the entire season.
Barça have started off on the right foot and Alejandro Balde has returned to his best level. Although he had several competitors on his heels, Fabrizio Romano has already confirmed that one of them is leaving. Barçaafter seeing that its starter is playing at a great level, has decided to loan out one of the substitutes.
Fabrizio Romano overtakes him
Barça are not going through a good financial moment and cannot sign all the players they would like. In addition, their board has not done their homework in time and now everything is in a hurry. With six days to go before the market closes, Dani Olmo has still not been registered and there are several players hanging by a thread.
Fabrizio Romano – who, as we all know, never fails – has announced on social media that Barça is letting go of one of its promising players. The team’s coach has had to choose from a youth academy where many show an extraordinary level. For this reason, Hansi Flick has not had it easy and has been trying out all of his full-backs until he decided which one is a bit green.
Yesterday evening, 25 August 2024, Fabrizio Romano announced that Alex Valle will be leaving on loan. The young full-back will be loaned to Celtic, a team based in Glasgow. The youngster, who was already on loan at Levante last season, will play in the Scottish First Division.
Alex Valle’s farewell is not final
Alex Vallein principle, had a contract with Barça until 2025, but Fabrizio Romano has also spoken on this subject. The Barcelona team, who see a bright future in him, have decided to extend the contract with their full-back for another year. This will allow them to incorporate him into the first team next season if they see that he has made a notable leap in quality.

This news is positive for Alejandro Balde, as, in addition to showing that they have a lot of confidence in him, he loses competition. Now only Héctor Fort and Gerard Martín remain, defenders who are also not far behind in terms of quality. Barça does not stop moving with 4 days left until the market closes and we will see how the squad ends up.
