Álvaro Valles, goalkeeper of Las Palmas, finds himself in a complex situation after going from being one of the team's key figures in the 23/24 season to not playing a single minute in the current campaign. His refusal to renew with the Canary club has been decisive as he seeks to force his move to Real Betis, a team that seems to have taken the lead in securing his services from the summer of 2025 onwards. Valles' decision has led Las Palmas to relegate him to the stands, making it clear that he is not part of their plans for this season.

Álvaro Valles, future signing of Real Betis

The goalkeeper, who was instrumental in Las Palmas' return to La Liga and shone with outstanding performances last year, has dramatically lost prominence. The board of the yellow club, aware that his departure is inevitable, has chosen to bet on other players in goal while preparing for the future without the Sevillian keeper. The relationship between the player and the club has become strained, especially after confirming Valles' lack of intention to renew and his plan to leave as a free agent.

Real Betis, on the other hand, remains attentive to the player's movements, destined to become their first signing for the 25/26 season. The green-and-white team is looking to strengthen its goalkeeping in the long term and sees Valles as a perfect opportunity, given his proven quality and contractual situation. Betis' interest, combined with the player's desire to advance in his career, makes the agreement seem a matter of time.

Valles' current situation marks the end of a remarkable period at Las Palmas, albeit tarnished by a complicated outcome. His future points to the Benito Villamarín, where he will seek to establish himself as a key figure in the Andalusian team.
