Gonzalo Villar will be one of the hot names at this end of the market. The 23-year-old Spanish midfielder is in the crosshairs of several major clubs and his situation has yet to be clarified. As confirmed by As, the Italian club has received several proposals from the international midfielder in recent weeks. Several of them have been to assess a loan option, with or without a purchase option, but Roma have rejected them first. His intention is not to let him go and, if he had to, it would be in exchange for a significant transfer.
Villar had a great season last season under Paulo Fonseca. It fit perfectly in the cheerful and offensive proposal of the Portuguese. As of January, and after some internal problems, Roma fell apart. He lost his options to fight for the title and was even left out of the Champions League. Mourinho arrived as the savior and the role that he will give to the Spanish pearl remains to be seen. Meanwhile, the interest does not stop and the signing of its renewal did not come. It stalled months ago and now it has new interlocutors.
The player spent a few dates working with Alejandro Camano. The agent has closed, among other operations, the transfer of Achraf to PSG and also has Borja Mayoral in Roma. Now he also advises Gonzalo Villar. Emissaries from clubs in the main leagues have already been interested in the former Elche player. His contract, for the moment, continues to expire in 2024 and his salary remains the same as when he arrived in Italy from the Smartbank League. In Spain, Atlético de Madrid have been intensely interested in recent months, before signing De Paul. It is not something new, but neither is it far from the only one in Europe that has done so. Villar is in the market and can be a stirrer of it in the last days.
