The defender was about to leave last summer for the Premier League
Paul Torres is completing another great season in the Villarreal CF and he distances himself more and more from the club. After fulfilling his dream of playing in the Champions League with the team from his city and after winning the Europa League, now is willing to continue growing in another great European club.
This step was very close to being taken last summer, when had an important offer from Tottenham on the table. But both club and player rejected the proposal. Now, the situation will change and, except for surprise, Pau Torres will give way to a great European team.
Pau Torres will leave Villarreal CF
Despite the fact that important teams such as Real Madrid and FC Barcelona have been following the player for years, none seem willing to pay the more than 60 million euros that Villarreal CF is asking for. That is why the most likely destination for him seems to be the Premier League, where he has several interested teams.
Manchester United, if they decide to sell Maguire, will be one of them. But also Tottenham and Arsenal, who have been following the footballer for months. The economic aspect will not be a problem and it will be the footballer himself who decides what his next step is.
Villarreal CF finds its replacement at Atlético
In case of leaving, Villarreal CF will have to look for a level reinforcement for their defense. The yellow submarine has set its sights on an Atlético de Madrid player, who with the arrival of Reinildo has run out of room. This is Mario Hermoso, who has been relegated to a secondary role.
His season on the left side has been bad and in the central position he has players like Giménez, Felipe or Savic ahead of him. Likewise, Lodi’s good games could cause Mario Hermoso to be relegated to the role of central quarter, which would force him to look for an exit. And Villarreal CF could offer him accommodation.
