New rumor regarding Villarreal CF. Following the arrival of Kambwala to strengthen the defense, there is an overbooking in the Yellow rear guard.
Aïssa Mandi will be the next to leave the Yellow Submarine. After the recent departures of Alberto Moreno and Pepe Reina, it is now the turn of the Algerian international. His destination seems to be the growing Saudi Arabian league, specifically the newly promoted Al-Kholood, which is looking to strengthen its squad to face the challenge of maintaining its newly acquired spot in the first division.
Mandi joined Villarreal in 2021 after his contract with Betis CF ended, playing a total of 5915 minutes in the yellow jersey.
According to the online portal Transfermarkt, the Franco-Algerian has a market value of 1.8 million euros, so the transfer amount will not be very large, although it will help Villarreal reduce its wage bill.
Update 29/7/24: Lille joins the bid for Mandi and will compete with the Saudi team to acquire his services.
