According to reports, Alex Valle’s growth while on loan at Celtic is going well, and the 20-year-old’s performances have pleased his parent club, Barcelona.
Against Club Brugge, the left-back provided his fourth assist of the season after coming off the bench. He made it possible for Daizen Maeda to equalise, which might be a crucial moment in Celtic’s European campaign.
Barcelona is happy with Valle’s development under Brendan Rodgers and has no plans to call up the young defender in January, according to Spanish publication Sport, via RecordSport. According to the source, the Catalan powerhouses are keeping a close eye on Valle’s growth and anticipate him staying at Celtic Park for the remainder of the season.
Even though Valle has only made six starts overall, he has displayed glimpses of his promise, especially under pressure like in the Brugge match. His performances have given Barca confidence that the loan period is helping him develop strategically and technically. Although some Celtic supporters are worried that Valle isn’t getting enough playing time, his memorable performances have shown why Barcelona thinks so highly of him. Valle has given the Rodgers team much-needed depth, and his image as a dependable and significant player has grown as a result of his ability to perform in crucial situations, like against Brugge.
Supporters are now urging the young youngster to play for the squad and giving him a higher rating than Greg Taylor, who has recently received a lot of flak.
Given the uncertainty surrounding Greg Taylor’s long-term future and the ongoing contract problem, Valle’s growth at Celtic may make him a viable successor.
