Report: Monaco pull out of Victor Valdes move

French outfit Monaco have reportedly ended their interest in Spanish goalkeeper Victor Valdes.

The experienced stopper had looked certain to join the Ligue 1 side this summer after running down his contract with Barcelona.

However, according to L'Equipe, Monaco are not prepared to gamble on the fitness of the Spaniard, who picked up a serious knee injury in April.

Valdes is due to miss at least the first two months of the 2014-15 campaign, with Monaco believed to now be exploring other options.

Arsenal have also been credited with an interest.
