Villarreal had already been wanting so as to add one other attacker to their squad for the second half of this season, however with it now being confirmed that Ilias Akhomach suffered an entire tear of his anterior cruciate ligament throughout Saturday’s victory in opposition to Alaves, that need has now heightened for the high-flying La Liga aspect.
Membership officers have already began scouring the market, and a well-recognized face has emerged as a number one goal: Goncalo Guedes. The 27-year-old spent the primary half of 2024 at La Ceramica, and in response to Relevo, Villarreal need to carry him again on one other mortgage deal.
Guedes would even be the favorite of Villarreal head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral, which whom he has an excellent relationship. They had been united when the Portuguese attacker joined in January, and 12 months on, they might be re-united.
Even earlier than Ilias’ damage, Villarreal bosses had been involved in regards to the bodily issues suffered by the likes of Ayoze Perez and Gerard Moreno this season, which is why another choice has been needed. It stays to be seen whether or not Guedes is that participant that’s pursued in the course of the winter switch window.
