Middlesbrough to allow goalkeeper to leave

 

Middlesbrough have confirmed that goalkeeper Victor Valdes will leave the club by mutual consent at the end of June. 

 

The Spaniard made 28 Premier League starts for the relegated side this season, yet last made a first team appearance for Boro in the 0-0 draw with Burnley in April. 

 

“Goalkeeper Victor Valdes will officially leave the club at the end of June,” a statement read on the club’s official website. 

 

“The 35-year-old made 28 appearances for the club, following his arrival last summer before sitting out the final seven games of the Premier League season due to a rib injury. 

 

“Valdes joins fellow goalkeeper Brad Guzan as a summer departure with the USA international heading to join MLS side Atlanta United. 

 

“Guzan, who replaced Valdes in the final games of the season, made 14 appearances for the club following his summer switch from Aston Villa.”
