Scouting Report & Player Insights
Carles Aleñá is a technically polished central midfielder whose game is built on a clean first touch, tidy short passing, and composure on the ball, traits instilled during his time coming through Barcelona's La Masia academy. After loan spells and a permanent move away from Barcelona, he has settled at Alavés as a metronomic presence in midfield, more a tempo-setter than a physical or defensive specialist. He lacks top-end pace and aerial power, but his vision and range of passing let him dictate play in deeper midfield roles.
Came through Barcelona's La Masia academy and made his first-team debut for the club.
Had a loan spell at Real Betis before joining Getafe and later Alavés.
