UEFA Champions League
Real Betis has secured the signing of Álvaro Valles, current goalkeeper of UD Las Palmas, for the upcoming season, as reported by Flashscore. The Andalusian goalkeeper will arrive on a free transfer after finishing his contract with the Canarian team, a move that strengthens the verdiblanco goal without any transfer cost.
Since he expressed his desire to wear the Betis shirt, Valles' situation at Las Palmas has been compromised. The coach of the island team has chosen to relegate him to the bench, a decision that has sparked controversy among the fans and exposed his imminent departure. Despite being a key player in the team's promotion and consolidation in LaLiga, his lack of minutes in recent games has been evident.
From the beginning, Álvaro Valles has made his intentions clear.
Valles himself has not hidden his future either. In recent statements, the goalkeeper hinted at his destination by stating that his wife will remain in Seville, a city with which he has a special bond. A gesture that has not gone unnoticed among Betis fans, who already see him as a reliable reinforcement for the next season.
On the other hand, the verdiblanco team is looking to strengthen a position that has been a topic of debate in recent months. With Valles' arrival, the club adds a goalkeeper with experience in LaLiga, outstanding reflexes, and good footwork, characteristics that fit the style of play sought by Manuel Pellegrini.
Pending the official confirmation, everything indicates that Valles will become Betis' first signing for the 2025-26 season. His arrival reinforces the club's commitment to national players with growth potential, a strategy that has yielded good results in recent years. Now, all that remains is to await the signature and official announcement, but the goalkeeper's future seems to be decided.
