The Cantabrian coach wants a quick winger to face in 1-on-1 situations and has very clear ideas about the ideal candidate
The yellow submarine is completing a spectacular summer despite the many sales. The club has earned more than 100 million euros from the sale of players like Chukwueze, Pau Torres or Nico Jackson and has spent just 12 million on the arrival of new players. And for this Villarreal CF are planning one last big signing to complete Quique Setién’s squad.
On this occasion, and as usual in this summer market, it would be a player who would arrive at no cost. An operation that they have already repeated this summer with players such as Ben Brereton Díaz, Santi Comesaña, Denis Suárez or Ilias Akhomach. But now, the player that Villarreal CF want to put under Setién’s orders it has a lot more name.
Setién asks for one last transfer to Villarreal CF
Yesterday afternoon, and without anyone imagining it, Villarreal CF have announced the signing of Sorloth. The Norwegian returns to Spain after his loan to Real Sociedad and does so by signing a contract until 2028, becoming the yellow and red club’s most expensive signing of the summer, which paid 10 million euros to RB Leipzig.
Now, after this last great addition, Villarreal CF are interested in Adama Traoré. The Spanish international is one of the great players who is still without a club and his aim is to play for a club playing in European competitions. However, it currently has no offerings of this caliber.
Adama Traoré as Chukwueze
Undoubtedly, the arrival of Adama Traoré would be extraordinary news for Quique Setién. Not only because he is a superior quality player, but also because it would allow the Cantabrian coach to recover the scheme that has worked so well for him at Betis with three central defenders and two wingers who give the team a lot of depth.
Adama Traoré would be the undisputed starter at right wing, as his best level has seen him play as a winger. Of course, it won’t be an easy signing. And it is that other clubs are willing to offer the Spanish international a lucrative contract. But Quique Setién wants to convince him to sign for Villarreal CF guaranteeing him a leading role in a right where Chukwueze will be no more.
