Winger Ilias Akhomach is one of the names to watch in the upcoming LaLiga transfer window. Espanyol and Olympique de Marseille have shown interest in acquiring his services, but Villarreal does not consider his departure as a done deal. The competition for playing time on the right flank will be high with Nicolas Pépé listed among those who raise the bar, though there could also be room for Akhomach.
The use of Tajon Buchanan by Íñigo Pérez in the left-back position could open up more opportunities for Akhomach on the right side. Despite this, Villarreal does not view his exit as certain. Any potential deal would depend on Akhomach's own wishes and the arrival of an offer that is truly appealing to him.
The club remains confident that Akhomach can secure playing time and become a key player within their squad.
