Villarreal have plenty of money to spend in the final weeks of the summer transfer window, having closed the sales of Filip Jorgensen, Jorge Cuenca, Ben Brereton Diaz and Alexander Sorloth in the past 10 days. Now, a new striker to replace Sorloth is at the top of the agenda.
They had moved for Borja Mayoral, but doubts over his knee saw club officials look elsewhere. Ace for Reliefthey are now targeting Real Betis' Ayoze Perez, whose €4 million release clause would be more than affordable.
Villarreal have already sent a contract proposal to Ayoze, and it is worth more than the offer he already has on the table from Betis. They missed him when he left Leicester City, but see now as the perfect opportunity to secure his services.
Ayoze had an excellent second half last season for Betis, and it would be a massive blow if he were to go. On the contrary, it would be an excellent addition Villarrealand given how cheap his release clause is, it also allows him to sign another attack.
