The 35-year-old goalkeeper is once again looking for a new club

Malaga and Man City have been mentioned as possible options

Víctor Valdes has left Middlesbrough after the two parties agreed to terminate his contract by mutual consent.

Middlesbrough were relegated from the Premier League but Valdes had a good season on a personal level and feels the best solution is to move on. 

His next move is unknown, although he has been linked with Malaga and in England it's even been suggested he could be reunited with Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. 

The 35-year-old joined Boro last summer after leaving Manchester United and at the express request of Aito Karanka. 

Praised throughout the season, the Catalan stopper looked back to his best but the season ended with Karanka being fired and Valdes then picking up an injury. 

Linked with La Lige side Malaga, Valdes is not thinking about retirement

Boro's statement on the departure of the former Barça goalkeeper said: "Goalkeeper Victor Valdes will officially leave the club at the end of June.

"Valdes’ contract has been terminated by mutual consent.

"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."
