Álex Valle, born on 25 April 2004 in Spain, is a sturdy defender, more specifically a left back, who gets to wear the Barcelona F.C. jersey. At 5ft 10in tall (or 1.8m for those partial to the metric system) and a sturdy 12st 8lb (that's about 80kg in metric), Valle is recognised as a solid player in his position.
Valle is presently valued at approximately £2.5m as per details available on Transfermarkt, a trusted source for such financial fibs. His current contract binds him to Barcelona until the 30th of June, 2026, giving him and the club a healthy 1 year and 5 months of mutual commitment.
Valle's journey in competitive football started back in July 2018 when he joined Barcelona as a trainee. Though his appearances in the 2024 - 2025 season have not been impressive, his dedication remains unscathed.
In a rather exciting turn of events, January 2023 witnessed Valle 'shipping out' on loan to FC Andorra, a club in the Second Division B/1 of Spanish football. His tenure at Andorra saw him step onto the pitch for a total of seven league matches during the 2022 - 2023 season. But his heart belonged to Barcelona, where he returned in June 2023 on completion of his loan.
Shortly after his return to Barcelona, August 2023 saw Valle moving out again, this time to Levante UD - a loan stint that proved to be more bountiful in terms of experience and gameplay for the young lad. With 29 first team appearances during the 2023 - 2024 season, Valle's time at Levante UD was indeed fruitful. In June 2024, he returned to Barcelona from Levante UD.
In August 2024, Valle made another move - this time to Celtic in the Scottish Premiership, where his presence was apparent with 11 first team appearances in the 2024 - 25 season. Despite his short stay, Valle made a mark and gained invaluable exposure in Scottish football, Celtic being one of the giants of the game there. However, his time with the hoops was short-lived as he returned to Barcelona in January 2025. As of the current season, Valle has yet to make a first team appearance for Barcelona since his return.
