A recent report from Mundo Deportivo has offered a series of updates on the future of several players returning to Barcelona this summer, from their respective loan deals
The report notably claimed Barça are set to continue with Julian Araujo, especially in the midst of uncertainty in the right-back position.
Now, another loanee who stands to gain from Barcelona’s lack of depth in the fullback position is Alex Valle.
Valle has a ‘unique opportunity’
As per the report, Valle has every chance to continue at Barcelona next season, provided he can take full advantage of his opportunities.
It appears the Spaniard can emerge as an ideal backup for Alejandro Balde, with the club being short of options in the left-back department.
Earlier in the month, Barcelona had to let go of Joao Cancelo. The Portuguese international was primarily serving as a left-back option in light of Balde’s injury.
However, Cancelo’s loan spell came to an end in June. While Barcelona are keen on bringing back the Man City star, the operation could prove to be complicated.
This leaves Barcelona with Alejandro Balde as the only reliable option for the left-back position. Alex Valle, to that end, could emerge as a handy option for Hansi Flick as he looks for an alternative for Balde.
A product of La Masia academy, Valle is coming on the back of a loan spell at Levante, where he was a regular member of the first-team.
Although Valle does lack experience at the highest level of football, his technical efficiency coupled with his positioning sense make him an ideal option for Barcelona heading into the new season.
