Valencia have officially announced what has long been
suspected- that Timo Hildebrand will be joining them from
Stuttgart.
The German international goalkeeper will undergo a medical on
Wednesday before signing a three year contract with Los
Ches.
Hildebrand chose not to extend his contract with the German
champions and exercise his right to leave on a free transfer.
However his position at Valencia remains in doubt as Amadeo
Carboni, the man who did so much to bring him to Spain, has since
left his position as Valencia manager.
It has been reported that current trainer Quique Sánchez Flores
does not particularly rate the 28 year old German.
It seems Hildebrand will face an uphill battle to displace current
Valencia number one Santiago Canizares, who has been at the
Mestalla since 1998 and is a fans favourite.
