Villarreal CF has closed the loan deal of midfielder Dani Requena to Levante, where he will play for the 2026-27 season. The 22-year-old Granadian, one of the great values of the yellow cantera, played on loan last season in Córdoba, where he was a regular starter.

Dani Requena, a promising young player from Villarreal CF's youth academy, is joining Levante on loan for the 2026-27 season. The 22-year-old Granadian midfielder played for Córdoba last season, where he was a regular starter.

Why it matters for Villarreal CF?

The loan of Requena resolves the situation of another player who left on loan last season. Previously, Ramón Terrats, Thiago Ojeda, and Víctor Moreno left for Getafe, Valladolid, and Tenerife, respectively.

What comes next?

Villarreal CF is working on the 2026-27 season, hoping to improve their position in the table. With Requena's loan, the team can focus on finding a suitable replacement for the midfielder.

Currently, Villarreal CF is in third place in La Liga, with 72 points, 22 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses in 38 games. Their last match was a 2-2 draw against Real Madrid. The 2026-27 season promises to be exciting for the yellow team.

In professional football, Dani Requena made his debut as a member of Villarreal's B team at just 19 years old in a match corresponding to the last round of the league. And the following year, he played 38 games in Segunda, under the guidance of Miguel Álvarez.
