Villarreal are still looking for a new goalkeeper, following the departure of Filip Jorgensen to Chelsea. They have been linked with Luis Maximiano and Wojciech Szczesny in recent weeks, although for now, nothing has progressed with any target. This could be good news for Real Betis.
Alvaro Valles is one of the “guards” who have been considered by Villarreal, although the 26-year-old only wants to join Betis. However, Los Verdiblancos will not advance their interest until Rui Silva has been sold, and with that in mind, they have now offered the Portuguese cap to their La Liga rivals – as per Marco.
The report says that Villarreal do not consider Silva to be a priority goal, but if they miss their preferred options. This could mean that a deal is made in the final days of the transfer window, meaning that would be the case Betis in his long pursuit of Valles.
