As the fans of Barcelona say goodbye to the promise of Marc Guiu, who joined Chelsea for a fee of 6 million euros, it appeared that another of his promises could leave for less this summer. Alex Valle spent last season on loan at Levante, but is expected to make a second preseason in a row with the first team.
The 20-year-old defender is expected to be assessed by Hansi Flick to see if he needs to keep him in the first team, with only Alejandro Balde and Hector Fort as options at the moment. MD say that his release clause is only 8 million euros currently, but that will drop to a deal of 3 million euros if he is not promoted to the first team by the first of August. If he is registered as a senior player, Valle's release clause will rise to €30 million.

Normally it would be quite simple for a side to promote a player and register to avoid this situation, but Barcelona has faced significant problems in this regard of late.
