Villarreal CF has no intention of selling Dani Budesca, one of the top prospects from its academy, despite interest from Valencia CF. The 20-year-old right-back is key to the reserve team and the club doesn't want to lose him.
What happened?
Valencia CF has consulted the conditions to incorporate Budesca into the first team, but Villarreal CF is not willing to sell. Coach Iñigo Pérez wants to evaluate the player in the preseason before making any decision.
Why is it important for Villarreal CF?
Budesca has been one of the most outstanding players of Villarreal B, accumulating 36 official matches, one goal and seven assists. His ability to run the flank and his precision in crosses have made him a fundamental piece within the scheme of the yellow reserve team.
What comes next?
Villarreal CF maintains control of the operation and is not obliged to rush a sale, although options will be studied. Budesca's market value is half a million euros. | Stat | Value | | Official matches | 36 | | Goals | 1 | | Assists | 7 |
Historical connection Villarreal-Valencia
The interest of Valencia CF in a player from Villarreal CF's academy is no coincidence. The two clubs have had a historical connection in terms of player transfers. Villarreal CF has always been a club that has bet on the academy and the development of young talents, and Budesca is one of the most recent examples of this policy
