Alfonso Pedraza experienced one of the best moments of his career this season when Luis de la Fuente rewarded him for his good work at Villarreal CF with a call-up from the Spanish national team
After doing very well at his club for several years and working quietly and often in the shadow of other players, Alfonso Pedraza got the reward he deserved at Villarreal CF. The full-back was called up to the Spanish national team due to Alejandro Balde’s injury and thus reached the peak of his career. A highlight that eluded him last summer.
At this point, the player received interest from Manchester United, who called him up as their left-back in the final days of the market. The player quickly said yes, but the Groguet club didn’t allow him to leave because they didn’t have a replacement. But now, after the club’s latest move, Pedraza and Villarreal CF could part ways.

Pedraza and Villarreal CF, a union that is about to end
After owning the left lane for several years, Alfonso Pedraza wants to leave the club in 2024. It is not a decision of the Yellow Submarine, who would like to continue to have a player of his level, but a decision of the footballer. And he believes he is ready to experience a new stage in his career.
At the moment he is fully concentrating on his club, as there are still many months of competition ahead of him and demand is at its highest. However, if circumstances permit and there is an offer that satisfies all parties, Pedraza will leave Villarreal CF. And the club has already found a replacement.
Carlos Romero, the side of the present and the future
After a season in which injuries and suspensions allowed him to break into the first team, Carlos Romero has made a long-term decision to join Villarreal CF. The Groguet team quickly took care of the young player, who became a regular in the first team and performed well when given the opportunity.
He has now extended his contract with the club and will remain connected until 2027. In this way and whatever happens to Alfonso Pedraza in the next summer market, Villarreal CF have secured a top-level full-back in Carlos Romero. A player who, if nothing goes wrong, will be the owner of the yellow team’s left lane for the next decade.
