Barcelona will let Victor Valdes use the club’s facilities to recover from injury after his proposed move to Monaco broke down.
It was reported yesterday that the Ligue 1 club had withdrawn their offer to the goalkeeper, who suffered a season-ending knee injury in March.
AS reports that Barca will continue to let Valdes use the club’s training base for his recuperation but won’t make an offer of a new contract, having already signed his replacement, Marc-Andre Ter Stegen.
Real Sociedad’s Claudio Bravo is also close to joining Barca as back up to and competition for the German, and so Valdes would be surplus to requirements.
A move to the Premier League and Manchester City is now considered Valdes’ most likely destination.
