Villarreal is recently waiting to conclude an agreement for the signing of Rafa Marin’s loan, but in the meantime, they concluded their first agreement on the winter movement window, it was for a player who was already in the club.
In the final days of last summer’s transfer window, Villarreal signed Juan Bernat on a season-long loan from Paris Saint-Germain. The former Valencia and Bayern Munich left-back was brought in to provide competition to Sergi Cardona, although he has only managed to make three starts so far this season (one in La Liga).
However, Villarreal was counted with Bernat, and now they signed it permanently. According to MD, the PSG finished the 31 -year contract and, therefore, wrote an agreement until the end of the season, which means that the cases of the agreement have not replaced much.
PSG made the decision to terminate Bernat’s contract because they already had the restriction of first team players on loan. They looked to send Randal Kolo Muani to Juventus for the rest of the season, so they had to terminate the Spanish defender’s contract 11 times.
The scenario has been very messy for the PSG, but Villarreal may not bother Bernat permanently. He has only signed until the end of the season, there are possibilities to extend his contract, it is unlikely that the resolution be done until summer.
Bernat has found it tough to make an impact at La Ceramica, but he does have time on side to force himself ahead of Sergio Cardona – although that won’t be easy as the former Las Palmas defender has been a standout performer for Villarreal. Nevertheless, head coach Marcelino Garcia Toral knows that he has two good options at left-back.
