Victor Valdes made a good impression in the final game of the Premier League campaign after keeping a clean sheet against Hull City.

The former Barcelona man was used in the place of David de Gea, who missed the game due to injury. However, he is widely believed to have played his last game for the Red Devils amidst from Real Madrid. A move back to Madrid sounds extremely exciting for the player, who has been named as the Player of the Year by the club and its players. After having joined United back in January, it took a long time for Valdes to make his debut.

Victor Valdes completed his move to Manchester United on January of 2015 as the Spanish goal-keeper left Barcelona after picking up a knee injury which left him out of action for a significantly long period of time and Louis van Gaal offered the veteran shot-stopper the chance to recover from his injury in the training facilities of Manchester United and the English club later decided to sign Victor Valdes on a permanent contract with an 18 month long deal.

Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has given a stunning admission that his rival for the number one spot at Manchester United, David de Gea, appears to be the best goalkeeper in the world right now.

Barcelona’s fears have been confirmed after with midfielder Andres Iniesta has been ruled out for the next six weeks.

Former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes has revealed that he is close to 100% fitness after having sufficiently recovered from the injury problems.

It’s been over 5 months since Victor Valdes has been a free agent after he was released by Barcelona and was expected to join a club in Qatar or the French side As.Monaco but a move could never be completed as he picked up an injury which interfered with the transfer.

Pep Guardiola is believed to be looking to land the Spain International Victor Valdes at Allianz Arena.

Valdes was all set to sign for the French club Monaco this summer, but, because of his slow recovery from the injury that he had sustained last season, that deal broke down.

Guardiola had said last week that he feels his squad is a goalkeeper short and he would probably be securing the services of one pretty soon. Now, it seems he had made that statement keeping Valdes in mind only.

As Valdes has already been released by Barcelona, he can be signed on free transfer.

French club Monaco have confirmed that they will not be signing former Barcelona goalkeeper Victor Valdes on a free transfer as initially reported. Monaco were seen as the favourites to get the 32-year-old goalkeeper, who left Barcelona after more than a decade. Valdes is currently recovering from an anterior cruciate ligament injury that he suffered last season. It saw him fail to bid proper goodbyes to Barcelona after being carried on a stretcher in his final appearance for the club. The injury appears to have put his move to a new club in jeopardy.

Barcelona FC has made it clear that in case Victor Valdes decides to cancel an away move, the club can think of giving him a contract extension.

Valdes’ contract with Barcelona is going to get finished at the end of this month and the Spaniard was ready to take a free transfer to the French Club Monaco after that, but, unfortunately, the knee injury that he had established in the latter parts of the last Season got worsened and he had to go under the knife. That led Monaco, which was very keen to secure his services, to withdraw its bid.

After spending 12 years with Barcelona, Victor Valdes has announced his departure from the Spanish club as he will be leaving the club based in Camp Nou with an anterior cruciate ligament which he suffered during Barcelona’s league match against Celta de Vigo.

This injury will be leaving Valdes out of action for the 2014 World Cup as well as he had to miss out from a number of league matches for Barcelona as they had to resort with utilizing Pinto for the last few stages of the season.
