Barcelona is clear that strengthening the full-back position will be one of its priorities in the upcoming summer transfer window, but it will do so without resorting to players from its academy. Héctor Fort and Gerard Martin are emerging as Hansi Flick's choices to complement Alejandro Balde and Jules Koundé, while the future of Álex Valle seems to be far from Camp Nou.

The left-back, who was once a significant investment for the club, has spent this season on loan at Celtic and later at Como, where he has found regular playing time. His performance in Italy has been outstanding, establishing himself as a starter and contributing to key victories against Serie A teams. His progress has sparked Como's interest in exercising the purchase option included in his loan deal, an operation that Barça considers almost finalized.

Como will permanently sign Álex Valle

The transfer fee would be around €8 million, a sum that the Blaugrana club deems acceptable in its planning. With Gerard Martin's recent extension until 2028, the board has hinted that Valle's space in the team is limited. Although there was consideration at some point for his return to compete with Balde, the club's final decision seems to lie in another direction.

With this move, Barcelona not only frees up space in its squad but also generates income that could be crucial in addressing other key positions in new signings. Meanwhile, Valle could have the opportunity to establish himself in Serie A, where he has found stability and playing time in a team that believes in his potential.
