Diego Alves has told Valencia he does not want to leave the club this summer, increasing speculation around Vicente Guaita.
The Spanish club had indicated during last season that this summer would see one of their two first-team goalkeepers offloaded, with Alves seen as the most likely to leave.
The player met with President Amadeo Salvo and sporting director Braulio Vazquez yesterday, accompanied by his agent, to reportedly look at offers from other clubs, reports Football Espana.
However, Marca are reporting that Alves took this opportunity to inform the club of his intention to stay and continue for next season.
"Diego Alves is not going to leave," the goalkeeper’s agent Jose Rodriguez Baster told reporters after the meeting.
"We are very happy here and the club is happy with us.
"The player will travel to Germany [for preseason] with the rest of the team."
Speculation will continue to surround Alves as Coach Miroslav Djukic yesterday made clear he will not alternate between two goalkeepers in La Liga, instead preferring to settle with one as first choice.
