Robles, 32, had been linked to the Stadium of Light but a report from the Daily Mail states the Spaniard will sign for Premier League outfit Leeds United on Monday.
Robles is said to have agreed an initial one-year deal at Elland Road and will provide back-up to Leeds’ Illan Meslier and youngster Kristoffer Klaesson in Jesse Marsch’s squad.
The goalkeeper departed Real Betis in Spain last summer after stints with Wigan Athletic and Everton over the years.
