The winter transfer market has been marked by several last-minute moves, and one of the most talked-about attempts has been that of Monchi, the sporting director of Aston Villa, to sign Álvaro Valles. However, the Sevillian goalkeeper has been firm in his stance: he only wants to play for Real Betis.

The English club, competing in the Premier League and in the Champions League, saw Valles as a quality reinforcement for the goal, although initially his role would have been as a substitute for Emiliano 'Dibu' Martínez. Despite the financial offer exceeding what was agreed with Betis, the goalkeeper from UD Las Palmas has turned down the proposal, just as he did months ago with Olympique de Marseille.

Valles only wants to sign for Betis

Since deciding not to renew with the Canarian team, Valles has been left out of the squad lists and has not played a single official minute this season. However, as indicated by the newspaper Marca, he is willing to continue in this situation until the end of his contract in order to join Benito Villamarín.

Betis still has one last chance to sign him before the market closes. The green-and-white entity is considering two options: including a player in the deal or paying an amount that fits their financial constraints. If they do not succeed now, Valles' signing will be sealed in the summer when he arrives as a free agent.
