Aleix Vidal Parreu (born 21 August 1989) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays for FC Barcelona. Mainly a right-back and a player of great speed, he can also operate as a right winger.
Having spent his early career at a string of lower-league and reserve teams, he became a regular at Almería, helping them to promotion to La Liga, and also won the Europa League with Sevilla before signing for Barcelona in 2015 for €17 million.
Born in Valls, Tarragona, Catalonia, and raised in neighbouring Puigpelat, Vidal started his career as a forward. He signed for RCD Espanyol in 2007 to further his development after having already made his senior debut with CF Reus Deportiu, but never appeared for the former's first team, finishing his only senior season with the club on loan to Panthrakikos F.C. from Greece.
On 31 August 2009, Vidal moved to Segunda División side Gimnàstic de Tarragona, but spent the vast majority of the season with CF Pobla de Mafumet, the farm team. He joined RCD Mallorca in the middle of 2010, being assigned to the reserves in Segunda División B.
