Barcelona left-back Alex Valle is set to undergo a medical with Celtic ahead of a loan move to Parkhead this summer, according to Sky Sports News.

 

The 20-year-old defender spent last season on loan at Levante and is not part of the club’s plans at the Nou Camp.

 

Celtic have come forward and secured a deal to sign Valle on loan from Barcelona in the ongoing transfer window

 

 

Now the left-back has already been booked for a medical with Celtic ahead of the move.

 

The Scottish champions will put the defender through his paces later today as they push to finalise the deal.

 

 

Celtic have agreed to pay a fee of £1.3m loan fee to cover his wages for the proposed loan stint at Parkhead.

 

Valle is said to have signed a new contract with Barcelona before agreeing to the loan move to Celtic.

 

 

Brendan Rodgers is hoping to sign a few more fresh faces before the transfer window closes on Friday night.
