Brighton, Villarreal Remain Linked to PSG Outcast After Underwhelming West Ham Loan Spell

The Spanish midfielder is coming off a loan spell at West Ham, where he played regularly—logging 1,487 minutes—but didn’t particularly stand out, scoring just one goal. Still under contract with PSG until 2027, he could be on the move again, with Villarreal pushing for a move.

On Saturday, L’Équipe reported that Villarreal are actively exploring ways to bring back the PSG midfielder to Spain, with Marcelino eager to reunite with his former player.

The La Liga club is pushing for a loan deal, while PSG prefer a permanent transfer. His high salary remains a sticking point. Meanwhile, the French media outlet adds that Brighton & Hove Albion have also emerged as a potential destination should he want to continue playing in the Premier League.
