Robles is set to end his disappointing Everton stay.
Everton goalkeeper Joel Robles is reportedly set to join La Liga outfit Getafe this summer after failing to earn a new deal at Goodison Park – and Toffees fans have wished him all the best.
The 27-year-old’s contract at Everton is set to expire on June 30, after signing a five-year deal way back in the summer of 2013. He was brought to Everton by Roberto Martinez, who had worked with the Spanish stopper at Wigan.
The Daily Mail claimed on their transfer news blog (Wednesday, 13.07pm) that the goalkeeper was in talks with Getafe over a move as a replacement for Vicente Guaita who is expected to join Crystal Palace.
It is believed that Robles has decided to move on as he seeks regular first-team football, with the £30million signing of Jordan Pickford preventing him from achieving that throughout the 2017-18 campaign.
During his five-year stay at Everton, Robles managed 65 league and cup appearances in which he conceded only 78 goals and kept a decent 25 clean sheets for the Merseyside outfit.
Everton fans reacted to the news that Robles is set to leave the club when his contract expires in about four weeks’ time, with the majority wishing him all the best after hardly complaining despite being a back-up goalkeeper.
However, one fan claimed Robles “never once clapped the Park End”.
