Barcelona want to sign Celtic’s rising player

Barcelona are keeping an eye on Celtic’s STARBOY.

Alejandro Balde is now Barcelona’s preferred left-back, and his performances have improved in recent games after a slow start compared to his teammates.

Yet, the situation regarding Barcelona’s backup for Balde in the 2025-26 season is still uncertain. Currently, Gerard Martin is in that position, but he has not performed well when manager Hansi Flick has turned to him.

Another prospective candidate is Alex Valle who will head back to Barcelona when his loan period concludes this season. Valle has been getting regular playing time with Celtic lately.

According to Sport, Barcelona authorities have been keeping a close eye on his performance and see him as a potential addition to the first team next season.

Valle’s consistent playing time with a team like Celtic is likely to aid in his development, a fact acknowledged by Barcelona. They are hopeful that his progress will continue for the rest of the season.
