Nottingham Forest are willing to pay £17 million to capture Las Palmas goalkeeper Alvaro Valles this summer.
This information comes from Pasion a Marilla.
So, what’s been said regarding Forest’s interest in Valles? Let’s look more closely.
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 goalkeeper due to concerns about 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.
Who is Alvaro Valles?
The Spanish stopper progressed through Real Betis’ junior divisions before leaving without making a first-team appearance.
He was on loan to lower division club CD Gerena before joining Las Palmas on a free transfer in 2018.
During his stint with Las Palmas, he has generally been the first-choice goalkeeper, 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.
