Ben Brereton Díaz finished the season on a high after his time at Sheffield United and is now preparing to define what is next in his career. The forward must return to Villarreal to fight for his opportunity, but everything indicates that he will not be able to do so.
After his first six months in the Yellow Submarine, the attacker left to look for the minutes that he was not being given in Spain. With more confidence, it seemed like it was the ideal time to demonstrate his level, but the Spanish press already gave him a complex picture.
In the last few hours it was learned that the Spanish team does not want to have the forward in its ranks. In fact, despite the fact that he still has a contract to fulfill, they assured that they will try to sell him in order to free themselves from his letter.
Villarreal wants to get rid of Ben Brereton Díaz
Ben Brereton Díaz arrived at Villarreal at the beginning of last season in the middle of a complex panorama. His performance was not the best and the Yellow Submarine chose to send him on loan to see if he could recover the best version of himself.
It was in the middle of those changes that Marcelino came to the bench and got the most out of a team that was on the ground. Now, thinking about the next campaign, the coach is already putting together his squad and the Chilean attacker is not one of his priorities.
As revealed by As España, Villarreal wants to permanently get rid of the forward. “The first step in the market was to confirm the departure of the footballers who were ending their contracts, a step that has already been taken this week. The second step on the yellow agenda is to try to find a permanent solution for the footballers Arnaut Danjuma, Johan Mojica and Ben Brereton,” they explain.
The reasons are simple and that is that none of them are considered by the DT. “Three cases of players who do not fit into Marcelino Marcial Toral’s plans, so given their high salary and the investment made by some of them, they are looking to give them a way out.”
But the media did not stop there, as it emphasized that the Chilean can take advantage of the momentum gained in the last Premier League. “In the case of Ben Brereton, the forward continues to have a poster in England, which means that from the same Sheffield with whom he has been relegated or Southampton, which seems to be interested, are open avenues for a hypothetical transfer.”
We will have to wait now to find out what the attacker wants to do. In England there are several clubs where he is playing and he could have an immediate return, but there is also pressure from Ricardo Gareca to learn Spanish, something that with Villarreal could have been easier to achieve.
Ben Brereton Díaz for now is focused on the Chilean team and the Copa América. The forward hopes to soon define the next step in his career, which will be essential to know whether or not he is still on La Roja’s radar.
