Marseille move for top La Liga goalkeeper, Real Betis in danger of missing out | OneFootball

Despite having been one of the best goalkeepers in La Liga during the 2023-24 campaign, there is a strong chance that Alvaro Valles starts next season in the stands. Valles, 26, was in phenomenal form for Las Palmas, but because he is refusing to sign a new contract, his chances of playing in Gran Canaria are extremely slim.

Las Palmas have already signed Valles’ replacement – former Barcelona and Valencia ‘keeper, Jasper Cillessen. Valles has returned for pre-season, but club president Miguel Angel Ramirez has already confirmed that he won’t play a single minute if he does not renew, and they are prepared to keep him until his contract runs out, provided that their valuation is not met.

Real Betis have Valles as a replacement for Rui Silva, who has been linked with a return to Portugal this summer. They’ve yet to present an acceptable offer to Las Palmas, and now, they could be behind Marseille in the race for his signature. According to Di Marzio, the Ligue 1 giants have spoke to Las Palmas in regards to the impressive ‘keeper.

Betis can be heartened by the fact that Valles is desperate to return to the Benito Villamarin this summer, but if they do not provide an acceptable offer to Las Palmas, the chances of it happening are slim. This would certainly open the door for Marseille.
