The latest on Victor Valdes’ future is that Barcelona have agreed to let him leave prior to the end date of his contract, given they are paid a sum of £10 million for the Spanish goalkeeper.
The Spain International, considered to be one of the best goalkeepers in the La Liga, having won 19 titles including 5 La Liga titles and 3 Champion League titles, is currently being rooted for by Arsenal, who are hoping to quickly solve their goalkeeper problem.
Victor Valdes admitted to wanting to experience a different culture and expressed his intention to play for an English club. The issue of Arsenal refusing to meet his current £120,000 a week salary at the Nou Camp is a whole other issue.
Frenchman and Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger is keen on bringing in a world-class stopper at the Emirates.
Who will fill the gloves vacated by Jens Lehmann? We have to wait and watch.
