The Spanish keeper, 34, is out of contract after being released by Manchester United.

But Valdes now looks set to stay in the Premier League with new boys Boro.

Aitor Karanka’s side have been on the hunt for a new stopper, with question marks over 37-year-old Dimi Konstantopoulos’ suitability for the top flight.
