Villarreal CF Decides on Alfonso Pedraza's Future

Villarreal CF faces a crucial month to decide on Alfonso Pedraza's future. The Spanish left-back's contract ends on June 30, 2026.

What options does the club have?

Villarreal CF must make a decision before January 1, when Pedraza can freely negotiate with other teams. The situation is not simple. While Pedraza's level has been appreciated, the club is also evaluating the options offered by Carlos Romero and Sergi Cardona.

What about Carlos Romero?

Romero, currently on loan to Espanyol, seems to have secured his return to the yellow submarine next year, unless a tempting offer arises around 30 or 40 million euros.

What role does Sergi Cardona play?

On the other hand, Sergi Cardona has shown great regularity and is aligned with the club's long-term vision. One of the alternatives being considered by Villarreal is to keep all three full-backs on the squad and reposition Pedraza as a winger. | Player | Position | Contract | | Alfonso Pedraza | Left-back | June 30, 2026 | | Carlos Romero | Left-back | ¿? | | Sergi Cardona | Left-back | ¿? |

What comes next?

Regardless of the decision they make, Villarreal CF must act strategically to plan its future. Time is pressing, and the sports management will have to decide soon which path to take.
