Official: Barcelona confirm €6 million sale of La Masia defender | OneFootball

FC Barcelona have confirmed their first sale of the summer transfer window with La Masia defender Alex Valle securing a permanent transfer to Como 1907.

The Serie A outfit, managed by former Barcelona midfielder, have triggered Valle’s €6 million release clause to make his signing permanent.

“Como 1907 has activated the termination clause of player Álex Valle , who is thus no longer linked to FC Barcelona. The cost of the clause was 6 million euros,” the club statement read.

“The Club wishes him good luck and success in the future, both personally and professionally.”

Valle spent the first half of the last season on loan at Celtic before moving to Como in the January transfer window.

The young Spaniard made a big impression during the second half of the campaign in Italy, convincing Fabregas & co. to pull the trigger on his €6 million release clause.

With the first summer departure confirmed, Barcelona will hope to finalise the exits of other out-of-favour players like Ansu Fati and Inaki Pena soon to further boost their finances.
