Álvaro Valles, a choice that is paying off for Real Betis

The green-and-white team is experiencing one of its best starts to the season in recent years. After eight matchdays, they sit in third place in LaLiga with 19 points, the same as Atlético de Madrid and only behind the red-and-white team due to goal difference.

Part of this consistency is explained by the performance of Álvaro Valles, who has managed to establish himself as the first-choice goalkeeper. His continuity allows Manuel Pellegrini to maintain stability in a position that required reliability after the movements made during the summer of 2025.

The goalkeeper has taken part in the most recent matches of the championship, and his performances have helped secure important victories. Against Villarreal, in the 1-2 triumph, he made seven saves, while in the 1-0 victory against Getafe, he kept a clean sheet.

His performance has also been noticed in Europe. Betis has won both of the first two Champions League matches, the latest being on October 14 against Oporto (3-2), with Valles as a starter making three interventions against shots on goal.

This continuity is particularly significant as the goalkeeper had spent much of the 2024/25 season sidelined from competition after refusing to renew his contract with UD Las Palmas.

Álvaro Valles' value soars after arriving for free

The operation began to take shape in February 2025 when Álvaro VallesLas Palmas. The goalkeeper turned down other possibilities because his priority was to return to the club where he had completed part of his training.

Ultimately, Real Betis managed to incorporate him without paying a transfer fee and signed him to a five-season contract until June 30, 2030. A decision that has gained greater importance over the months.

His economic evolution also reflects the change in scenery. Valles was valued at 2.5 million euros when he joined the Seville team, whereas the latest valuation available from Transfermarkt reaches 10 million, five times more, highlighting his exceptional performance.

He arrived for free, and his market value continues to rise.

The figure contrasts with the 4 million euros that Betis had previously offered for his transfer, an amount that Las Palmas considered insufficient. Eventually, the Andalusian team was able to incorporate the goalkeeper without paying that sum.

With a contract until 2030 and a secured starting position, Álvaro Valles now faces a demanding period. The next test will be the match against Barcelona on October 17, an opportunity to measure his performance against the LaLiga leader and further increase his value.
