Until now it was mostly speculation, now it is definite: Pau Torres (26), one of the best and most important players of Villarreal is leaving Madrigal this summer.Marca writes that the 26-year-old sweeper has informed people from the club that he wants to leave, that it is time for a new stage in his career and that there is no point in wasting time on negotiations over a new contract. The Yellow Submarine is not in the best situation, Torres’ contract expires in 12 months, so it is hard to expect that Villarreal will be able to get the 45,000,000 euros they are asking for.##NAJAVA_MECA_7341954##It was not easy for Torres to make this decision. He is a child of the club, he started in the yellow jersey when he was only five years old, and more than two decades have passed since then?! He had the opportunity to leave two years ago, when Tottenham made a very serious bid for him, but after winning the Europa League with Villarreal, he wanted to play with his beloved club in the Champions League, so he turned down the invitation from the Island.✅🚨 Unai Emery his interested in reuniting with his former player as Aston Villa are ready to open talks with Villarreal for Pau Torres in coming days.✍️ #TFUpdatesWithOlt https://t.co/WWDMb1Dh7x pic.twitter.com/Ltrq0sgwbF— Olt Sports (@oltsport_) June 24, 2023 At that time, Pau Torres had the status of one of the most sought-after sweepers in Europe. In the meantime, he became a regular in the Spanish national team, but the top clubs somehow bypassed him.This summer, Aston Villa have the best chance to bring him, as Unai Emery highly appreciates him and knows him well. It is expected that Juventus will also send an offer, while Bayern seem to have given up.
