Crystal Palace goalkeeper Vicente Guaita is dying to leave Selhurst Park and return to Spain before the transfer window closes.
That is according to a report from AS.
It claims that Vicente Guaita is counting the hours until he departs Crystal Palace and that the 36-year-old has agreed to join Celta Vigo.
Guaita played 27 times for Palace in the Premier League last season, but his career at Selhurst Park now looks to be over.
The Spaniard has not been involved in any of the Eagles’ games in the new campaign, while they are also set to bring in Dean Henderson from Manchester United.
As per BBC Sport, Palace have agreed a deal with United to sign the England international.
Vicente Guaita has been a good servant to Crystal Palace
It is clear that Guaita and Palace are done with each other, to be blunt, with the former Getafe man desperate to leave the club, while they are about to sign a new goalkeeper.
Nevertheless, the south London outfit still got a lot out of the shot-stopper, who joined them back in 2018.
He has been more than a useful player for Palace, but it seems that it is now time for both parties to go their separate ways.
In terms of who is coming in to replace him, Henderson could be a great successor. He has Premier League experience and recently helped Nottingham Forest to stay in the top flight, so there are obviously much worse goalkeepers out there.
All in all, Guaita was a player who Palace valued after being a regular at Selhurst Park for five seasons. However, the £77,000-a-week (Spotrac) star is ready for a new challenge away from south London.
Going forward, then, Henderson and Sam Johnstone will be battling for the No.1 spot in Roy Hodgson’s team.
