Victor Valdes is ready to leave Middlesbrough at the end of the season.

Don Balon says the goalkeeper has told former Barcelona teammates he expects to return to the LaLiga this summer.

After a tough 12 months at Manchester United, Valdes has revived his career on Teesside at Boro, where he established himself as the club's first-choice.

However, he is now ready to return to Spain, with his contract due to expire in June.

Deportivo La Coruna and Malaga are both in contact with Valdes about a Bosman move.
