Villarreal speeds up the Rubén Vargas deal

Villarreal's sports management has reacted swiftly after confirming Pino's move to the Premier League. The chosen one is Vargas, a player who has always been on the Yellow Submarine's radar and was close to signing last winter.

Now, with Sevilla's financial woes and the need to free up spots to register their new signings, the negotiation is well advanced. According to Matteo Moretto, a transfers specialist, the agreement between clubs could be finalized in the coming hours.

Sevilla needs to sell to register signings

In Sevilla's case, the sale of Rubén Vargas would provide economic and sporting relief. The club needs liquidity to register all the players who arrived this summer and also to free up a significant salary.

Antonio Cordón himself, head of sports management, aims to execute a "express revolution" to provide Matías Almeyda with a competitive squad. Vargas's departure fits into this context of adjustments and paves the way for new additions.

Rubén Vargas's profile and fit at Villarreal

Rubén Vargas, 26, joined Sevilla from German side Augsburg for €2.5 million. His time at Nervión has been marked by an injury that kept him out for a large part of last season, but when available, he has proven to be an incisive winger with speed, dribbling skills, and the ability to unlock tight defenses.

In total, Vargas played 18 games for Sevilla, contributing 2 goals and 3 assists. At La Cerámica, he is seen as an ideal player to fill the void left by Yeremy Pino, not only for his attacking prowess but also for his defensive work rate, fitting into the Yellow Submarine's philosophy.

The good rapport between Sevilla and Villarreal executives could ease the transfer. It's not the first time both clubs negotiate, and in this case, there is willingness from all parties. The player is also excited about the chance to play in the Champions League with the Yellow Submarine.

Villarreal aims to close the deal before the weekend so that Marcelino can count on his new winger as soon as possible. If all goes well, Vargas could become a member of the Yellow Submarine in a matter of hours.
