Fabrizio Romano has confirmed that Alex Valle will travel to Glasgow tomorrow ahead of a medical. The 20-year-old is set to sign for Celtic on a loan deal having agreed an extension until the summer of 2026 with Barcelona.
Taking to Twitter/X, the Italian journalist confirmed that the Spanish left back would make the trip to Glasgow ahead of his medical.
Celtic have been keen to get a deal done to bring in a left back to compete with Greg Taylor. The manager wants a number of players added in the coming days ahead of the Rangers game. Arne Engels and Mateusz Bogusz are reportedly targets for the club with the club in talks over transfers in the coming days.
Valle is highly rated at Barca but they need to trim their squad in order to register players. The player’s new deal reportedly includes a release clause of €3m but Celtic do not have a clause in their contract with Barca to buy the player.
Hopefully Valle is the first of a few quality first team players to join to bolster the squad.
