Portuguese goalkeeper Luis Maximiano, 26, currently playing for Almería, is not in the plans of the team's coach, Rubi. He has been training separately from his teammates for several weeks. His priority is to continue playing in the First Division, and he is very open to moving to Madrid. Almería agrees with the move, as they need to lighten their squad. The announcement could be made in the coming hours. His contract with the club runs until 2029 and his market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €3.00m. Valencia has also been linked with the player.
