Álvaro Valles will be a new player for Real Betis once this season concludes. The goalkeeper, without playing time at Las Palmas this season, has had everything agreed upon for months to join the green-and-white team, of which he has always been a supporter. Despite not having had minutes throughout the season, his destination is more than defined: he will return home with the intact enthusiasm to defend the colors of his heart's club.
Valles, Real Betis' first signing
The Sevillian goalkeeper has experienced an atypical season, sidelined in the stands after refusing to extend his contract with the Canarian club. The club's decision not to count on him as a form of pressure has not altered his plans or changed the course of an operation that was closed long ago. Despite his inactivity, his performances in previous seasons and his profile have convinced Betis to add him to their squad.
Valles, 27, was a key player in the promotion and subsequent consolidation of the island team in La Liga, demonstrating security in goal, good footwork, and leadership in the area. His contractual situation made him a market opportunity, and Betis, looking to reinforce their goalkeeping with guarantees, acted swiftly to secure his transfer at no cost.
The agreement between the parties is fully finalized, and only the end of the season is pending for it to be made official. The operation represents a strategic move for the Andalusian team, adding an experienced goalkeeper from elite levels, motivated by a sense of belonging. Valles will fulfill the dream of wearing the Benito Villamarín shirt, something he had been waiting for while watching the matches from the outside in a year marked by his firm decision not to renew.
