Barcelona star with €3m asking price uncertain about future – 'The club hasn't told me anything'

One of the most impressive players on the field during Barcelona's 2-1 win over Real Madrid in New Jersey it was Alex Valle. Despite being a natural defender, the 20-year-old was used on the right side of the defense by Hansi Flick, and played a major role in both goals.

Valle's cross allowed Robert Lewandowski to set up Pau Victor for Barcelona's opener, and he himself provided the assist for the second. All in all, it was a very strong performance from Valle, and it comes at a crucial time in his career.

Earlier this week, Valle's release clause has lapsed to 3 million euros due to not being registered as a first team player. So far, Barcelona have made no effort to agree a new contract, with his current deal set to expire next summer. Speaking after El Clasico, he admitted to being uncertain about his future.

“I like the tour without thinking too much. The truth is that I think it doesn't depend on me. The club hasn't told me anything yet.”

As things stand, Valle is competing with Gerard Martin to be Alejandro Balde's backup for the 2024-25 season. He took his chances to win that battle, and so he stayed Barcelonanot bad with his display in El Clasico.
