According to Le As, Villarreal is interested in Vega.

Villarreal initially evaluated the offer slightly higher than €20 million, but it seems that they will have to pay at least €25 million to sign Vega.

The good news is that Chelsea has lowered the initial asking price of 30 million to 35 million euros. The current negotiations revolve around a model of 27 million euros plus future resale share sharing. The specific proportion will depend on the potential value-added space.

Head coach Marcellino is very optimistic about Vega. In order to avoid competition from other teams, Villarreal is likely to increase investment. Chelsea also had pressure to clear nearly ten players before the transfer window closed to make room for new players, with Vega the easiest to deal with.

Villarreal's strategy is to provide a long-term contract to dilute transfer costs and look forward to future players' appreciation. This approach is similar to their actions to sign Esturpinian in the 2020-21 season (transfer fee of 16.3 million euros, signed for 7 years).

Therefore, if the final transfer amount exceeds €25 million, Villarreal will almost certainly provide Vega with a long-term contract of 6 to 7 years. In this way, the average annual amortization is about €4 million, and the club can better control the fiscal balance while achieving profits in future resales.
