Levante UD is close to sealing a loan deal with Villarreal for Thiago Fernández, a young Argentine who has left good impressions in his half-season at Real Oviedo. The operation is very advanced and would follow similar conditions to those of Dani Requena, extending until June 2027 and with an option to buy for Levante at the end of the loan.
What happened?
Villarreal wants to maintain control over the future of the Argentine, ensuring that if Levante exercises the option to buy in the summer of 2027, Villarreal would retain clauses for re-purchase in future windows.
Why it matters for Levante?
The priority is for Fernández to play the minutes that would not be guaranteed for him in Villarreal this season and to maintain his progress in Spanish football. Levante considers the Argentine as a nearly ideal destination for his development, as he has First Division football and is close to Vila-real.
What comes next?
The loan of Thiago Fernández adds to a very busy summer for Levante in terms of departures. The club has loaned out several players, including Diego Conde, Arnau Tenas, Dani Requena and Hugo López, while Pau Cabanes, Álex Forés, Lautaro Spatz and Thiago Ojeda have left in permanent transfers.
