Barcelona set to sign 20-year-old left-back to challenge Alejandro Balde from next summer

The 2024 season for Barcelona is expected to be another period of financial restraint as they work to tackle their salary limit issues. Despite these challenges, there is excitement surrounding the potential promotion of La Masia products, including 19-year-old left-back Alex Valle. Valle has impressed in preseason and during a loan spell at Levante, and his progress is being closely monitored by the club. With potential openings in the first team next season, Valle could be a key player in Barcelona’s plans moving forward.

Barcelona’s 2024 season will see the arrival of 18-year-old Brazilian forward Vitor Roque as they work to tackle salary limit issues. President Joan Laporta has promised to close the €130m gap between their limit and current wage bill spend. This opens the door for La Masia products like 19-year-old left-back Alex Valle to join the first team. Valle impressed Xavi Hernandez in preseason and has been a regular starter for Levante, catching the eye of loan manager Bojan Krkic. Xavi is closely following Valle’s progress and the club plans for him to compete with Alejandro Balde on the left side. The potential displacement of Balde by Joao Cancelo creates a potential problem for Sporting Director Deco.
