Alvaro Valles, the goalkeeper for Las Palmas, is a player Nottingham Forest is willing to pay £17 million for in the summer.
We have this news from Pasion the Marilla.
What has been mentioned, then, regarding Forest and their desire to acquire Valles? Let’s investigate more closely.
Nottingham Forest want Alvaro Valles
The Las Palmas player seems to be of interest to the Reds, as seen by their attempt to sign him in January.
Two months ago, Forest was in dire need of a goalkeeper due to concerns about Odysseas Vlachodimos and Matt Turner.
The Reds offered £17 million for the stopper, and they’re willing to pay that amount again in the summer, according to Pasion a Marilla.
Although it’s been reported that Las Palmas is eager to sign their top player to a new deal, he has reportedly rejected the approaches thus far.
This season, Valles has made 28 appearances in La Liga while preserving seven clean sheets. He has been a constant.
Although the player may have more opportunities in England, Forest must first ensure their Premier League survival.
Matz Sels, who Forest acquired during the January transfer window, seems destined to be the number two going forward.
We exclusively disclosed last week that Anthony Patterson, a great goalkeeper for Sunderland, is another goalkeeper that Forest is considering.
Who is Alvaro Valles?
The Spanish goalkeeper joined Real Betis’ development program and left without playing for the squad in the first team.
He played on loan for a while with CD Gerena, a lower division team, before moving on a free transfer to Las Palmas in 2018.
He has made 129 appearances for Las Palmas and has mostly served as the team’s first-choice custodian during his tenure.
Since Valles’ current contract expires in 2025 and there is currently no indication that he would sign another, Las Palmas may be compelled to cash in.
In other news, it has been reported that Luis de La Fuente, the head coach of Spain, is thinking about bringing him up for the national team before Euro 2024.
Who Scored identifies Valles’s primary strengths as being his focus and shot stopping; there are no discernible shortcomings.
It’s interesting to note that he seems to enjoy coming off his line and smashing the ball under type of play.
