Las Palmas was seeking at least twice the amount that Betis had offered for a transfer. The club accepted a proposal from Olympique de Marseille even before reaching an agreement with the player, Valles. Despite this, Valles turned down the offer, even though Miguel Ángel Ramírez, the majority shareholder and president of Las Palmas, had reportedly threatened him. Ramírez had publicly indicated that if Valles did not renew his contract or agree to a transfer, he would be prohibited from playing. Currently, Valles continues to train with the team but is not permitted to participate in matches.

Las Palmas is intending to address Álvaro Vallés's situation in the upcoming winter transfer market by arranging a loan, aiming to temporarily transfer the goalkeeper. Vallés, who was a standout performer last season, has been excluded from the team following his refusal to renew his contract with the Canary Islands team. The situation has become tense, as Las Palmas seeks to lower their wage bill by the end of the season.

Alvaro Vallés, who was notably courted by OM this summer, has been sidelined by Las Palmas after a brilliant season last year because he does not wish to extend his contract. He is seen as a cost-effective option for January by FC Barcelone.

Las Palmas had a plan to transfer Álvaro Valles to Olympique de Marsella. However, Valles preferred to wait for Betis, which never increased their offer, leaving Valles without a transfer.
