Monaco have confirmed they will not be signing goalkeeper Victor Valdes this summer after he failed a medical on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old chose not to renew his deal at Barcelona following a 12-year stint between the posts for the Catalan giants.<\/p>\n

With Valdes out of contract this summer, Monaco were reportedly keen on recruiting the Spain international for the upcoming Ligue 1 season.<\/p>\n

But after Valdes suffered a serious knee injury in Barcelona’s league win against Celta Vigo in March, the club have decided against bringing the shot-stopper to France because of doubts over his fitness.<\/p>\n

Monaco vice-president and sports director, Vadim Vasilyev, told a press conference on Thursday: “Victor Valdes is injured and he won’t join us.”<\/p>\n

Valdes travelled to France this week to undergo a medical with the Principality club but failed the fitness tests on Wednesday.<\/p>\n

The 32-year-old remains a free agent and will now have to convince a new club that he will be fit enough to play next term.<\/p>\n

Valdes \u2013 who missed out on Spain\u2019s World Cup campaign in Brazil with the anterior cruciate ligament damage in his knee \u2013 has won six La Liga titles and three Champions Leagues trophies with Barcelona.<\/p>\n

The Catalan club have replaced Valdes and outgoing keeper Jose Manuel Pinto with 31-year-old Chilean goalkeeper Claudio Bravo from Real Sociedad and 22-year-old Marc-Andre ter Stegen from Borussia Monchengladbach.<\/p>\n
