Villarreal CF has renewed the contract of Carlos Maciá, one of its top young talents, until 2031. The 17-year-old midfielder made his debut in La Liga last season under Marcelino and will remain tied to the club until 2031, which means a two-year extension of the contract he had until 2029.
What happened?
Carlos Maciá has earned this renewal after a 2025-26 campaign in which he grew rapidly and reached the reserve team. There, he was a revelation of a team that unexpectedly reached the playoffs for promotion to Segunda.
Why it matters for Villarreal CF?
The renewal of Maciá reinforces the Villarreal's bet on its youth academy in a season in which the yellow team's youth football is expected to have a prominent role in the first team.
What comes next?
Maciá already participated in the pre-season friendly against Benfica and now seeks to repeat this Saturday against PSV Eindhoven. The renewal of Maciá is an important step for the future of Villarreal CF.
Currently, Villarreal CF is in third place in the league with 72 points, 22 wins, 6 draws, and 10 losses in 38 games. The team has also scored 72 goals and received 46 in the current season, with a goal difference of +26. However, they are 22 points behind the leaders Barcelona in the title race.
