Will Celtic sustain their lead on SPLF with this ‘Shock move’ facing unscheduled January transfer dilemma

The defender joined Celtic on a season-long loan in August to provide backup and competition for the underappreciated left-back position.

With Greg Taylor in the final year of his contract, the Valle deal appeared to shift the issue a year down the line, but it is possible that the long-running left-back issue will need to be handled in two months.

Barcelona are considering a shock move to cut Alex Valle’s Celtic loan short in January.

Catalan journal El National.cat claim the Catalan giants have been impressed by the left back’s impact in Glasgow.

And, concerned by the form of Alejandro Balde, president Joan Laporta and Hansi Flick are now considering an offer to compensate Celtic for cutting his 12-month loan deal short and taking the 20-year-old back to the Camp Nou in January.

Loan deals are never regular with a variety of options involved with either club capable of cutting short a season long deal in January.

Valle stepped in for Taylor at half-time away to Borussia Dortmund, over the subsequent matches he looked increasingly comfortable with Celtic’s style of play and the physicality of Scottish football.

Having scouted the position through the summer it looks like Celtic will have to review that area of the team with the return of an on form Alexandro Bernabei from Internacional open as an option.
