He stated that he has not received any information regarding Barcelona’s potential decision to recall Valle from his loan, despite speculation circulating in Spanish media. He remarked, “Not that I’m aware of, no.

 

 

Nobody has informed me otherwise. I suppose we are approaching a period where rumours and gossip will intensify as January approaches. I know that Alex has thoroughly enjoyed his time here, and he is undeniably a crucial player for us both on and off the pitch. Therefore, we would prefer not to lose him.”

 

 

“I believe the experience he is acquiring here, both in the Champions League and domestic competitions, is one he genuinely appreciates.” Alex Valle will remain in place. Although media outlets must cover commercially viable stories, it appears that Valle will remain, with his main objective being to secure a first-team position at Celtic in the forthcoming months.

 

At 20 years old, the Spain Under-19 international has seamlessly adapted to life in Scotland, demonstrating remarkable maturity and a commitment to enhancing the offensive play from the left wing.

 

Valle is acquiring significant experience at Celtic while progressing in optimal conditions, enhancing his presence on the pitch, a trend that is anticipated to persist throughout his tenure at the club.
