Report – Villarreal Won’t Trigger Option To Sign Inter Milan & Canada Wingback

Originally posted on SempreInter.com  |  By Marko Vrakela  |  Last updated Jun 26, 2025 8:46 AM ET

Villarreal decided against purchasing Inter Milan loanee Tajon Buchanan after his loan deal expired at the start of this month.

Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, there’s still a chance for the Canadian wingback to return to La Ceramica.

Tajon Buchanan joined the Yellow Submarine on a six-month loan in January.

Furthermore, Villarreal paid Inter €1 million to borrow the 26-year-old and included a buyout clause in the region of €13m.

However, after careful examination, they decided not to take it.

Villarreal Will Not Purchase Inter Milan Wingback Tajon Buchanan

Though the price wasn’t high, Villarreal won’t turn Buchanan’s transfer permanent under current terms.

Instead, they hope to get a discount from Inter.

Buchanan made 13 La Liga appearances for the Castellon outfit, netting one goal and providing two assists.

However, he only registered four league starts, failing to secure a regular starting berth under Marcelino Garcia Toral.

Therefore, Villarreal will only sign the ex-Club Brugge star on favorable terms.

As for Buchanan, his chances of breaking into Cristian Chivu’s set-up look bleak.

With the arrival of Luis Henrique, it’s hard to imagine Buchanan launching his career at the San Siro now.
