Liverpool are reportedly hopeful of signing goalkeeper Victor Valdes within the next two weeks.

Valdes has been without a club since leaving Spanish giants Barcelona at the end of last season following 12 years at the Camp Nou outfit.

The shot-stopper was set on completing a move to French side Monaco but, after the 32-year-old suffered a serious knee injury in Barca’s league win over Celta Vigo in March, the deal fell through because of doubts over Valdes’ fitness.

However, The Express have claimed that Valdes will now sign for Liverpool – with Brendan Rodgers said to be confident that the Spaniard will be able to provide competition for The Reds’ current first-choice goalkeeper Simon Mignolet.




It is believed that Valdes will undergo a medical with the Anfield based outfit during the international break before being confirmed as a new Liverpool player afterwards.
