Alex Valle enjoyed a very good loan spell at Celtic in the first half of this season.

The young Barcelona defender joined Celtic on loan last summer and impressed fans with some very good performances.

Valle won the League Cup after appearing as a substitute in Celtic’s win over Rangers before he left Parkhead to join Serie A side Como in the January transfer window.

Since then Valle has made 11 appearances for Como and now, it seems, the former Celtic loanee could be in line for a stunning £5m move to the Bundesliga.

Alex Valle’s all-time career appearances including impressive Celtic spell

At just 20, Valle has already enjoyed some impressive moments, especially at Celtic.

Having made over 60 senior appearances for four different clubs, it was at Celtic where Valle impressed the most.

At Celtic, Valle made five Champions League appearances with his most impressive performance agianst Atalanta in the 0-0 draw in Bergamo.

Valle also created an assist in Celtic’s 1-1 draw with Club Brugge as he proved he has the quality to mix it with the best players in Europe.

No doubt if Valle does make the move to Dortmund, Celtic fans will keep a close eye on the young Spaniard who was popular amongst the Parkhead crowd.
