Serie A spenders open talks with Barcelona for defender
Today at 09:43 AM
Serie A side Como have been one of the movers and shakers in the January transfer window, and they could be set to target another impressive Spanish talent. Barcelona youngster Alex Valle is the latest on their radar.
With Celtic moving to bring back club hero Kieran Tierney from Arsenal, that switch would open the door for Valle to seek a fresh loan move. Fabrizio Romano reports that Cesc Fabregas' Como have opened talks with Barcelona to potentially take Valle to Serie A. He reports that Como are strongly interested in Valle, believing in his talent.

Fabregas will no doubt still have contacts at Barcelona, and will be well aware of what Valle can bring. After a mixed loan spell at Levante last season, Valle has made 18 appearances for Celtic this season, 11 of which were starts. During those appearances he has also given an impressive 5 assists, and has been battling it out with Greg Taylor for the starting spot in recent weeks.
