Barcelona, Spain – Borussia Dortmund have expressed interest in signing Barcelona left-back Alex Valle, making him the second young Blaugrana talent to be on the Bundesliga club’s radar this year.
Barca’s Transfer Domino Begins With Sales
As Barcelona prepare for a crucial summer rebuild, player exits are expected to take center stage before any high-profile arrivals can be sanctioned. Alex Valle, who is currently on loan at Serie B side Como, is the latest name attracting attention — with Dortmund reportedly monitoring the 20-year-old’s progress closely.
Valle’s Journey: From Celtic to Como
Despite Barcelona’s struggles at left-back this season, new manager Hansi Flick opted not to integrate Valle into the first-team plans. Instead, the La Masia product was loaned out — first to Celtic, then to Como, where he has impressed.
Como hold an option to buy the Spanish defender, and sources close to the club suggest they are considering activating the clause. However, if that falls through, Valle could return to Barcelona, though it may only be a brief pitstop before a permanent move elsewhere.
Dortmund’s Growing Barca Watchlist
According to Mundo Deportivo, Borussia Dortmund have been scouting Valle regularly in Italy and are weighing a summer swoop. This comes after the German giants also registered interest in Barcelona wonderkid Guille Fernandez, a rising star from La Masia.
While no formal negotiations have begun, the Bundesliga side is said to be building a dossier on both players as part of their summer recruitment strategy.
A Return to Camp Nou Still Possible?
Interestingly, Barcelona themselves have been quietly impressed with Valle’s development in Serie B. If Como decide not to buy, Barca may retain him as a backup to Alejandro Balde, especially with Gerard Martin struggling to convince in that role.
With the Catalan club seeking financial stability and depth in key positions, Valle’s fate may depend on how much value Barcelona place on his potential versus a transfer fee.
