Nottingham Forest are willing to pay £17 million to sign Las Palmas custodian Alvaro Valles this summer.
This information comes from Pasion a Marilla.
So, what’s been said regarding Forest’s interest in Valles? Let’s have a closer look.
Nottingham Forest wants Alvaro Valles.
It appears that the Reds are interested in the Las Palmas player, as they attempted to sign him in January.
Two months ago, Forest were desperate to sign a custodian due to concerns over Matt Turner and Odysseas Vlachodimos.
According to Pasion a Marilla, the Reds bid £17 million for the stopper and are willing to spend the same price in the summer.
According to reports, Las Palmas are eager to sign their star player to a new deal, but he has so far refused.
Valles has been a constant presence in La Liga this season, appearing 28 times and maintaining seven clean sheets.
Now, the player’s future may lie in England, but first and foremost, Forest must ensure Premier League survival.
Forest signed Matz Sels in the January transfer window, and it appears that he will be the number two going forward.
Last week, we exclusively disclosed that Sunderland custodian Anthony Patterson is also on Forest’s radar.
Who is Alvaro Valles?
The Spanish stopper came from Real Betis’ youth ranks and left without making first-team appearance for the club.
He was on loan to lower division club CD Gerena before joining Las Palmas on a free transfer in 2018.
During his stint at Las Palmas, he has generally been the first-choice custodian, making 129 appearances.
Valles is out of contract in 2025, and with no indication that he would sign a new one, Las Palmas may be obliged to cash in.
In other events, it has been reported that Spain’s head coach, Luis de La Fuente, is considering calling him up to the national squad ahead of Euro 2024.
Who Scored describes Valles’ key strengths as concentration and shot stopping, with no significant shortcomings.
Interestingly, under style of play, it shows that he enjoys coming off his line and punching the ball.
