Villarreal strengthens stance as Barça and Premier watch Moleiro
On the training pitch of La Cerámica, the young Canarian Alberto Moleiro performs a dribble while the Villarreal executives watch closely, aware that the forward has scored two goals and provided three assists in the eight matches he has played this season.
Interest of the giants
The newspaper Deportivo reports that Barcelona, Atlético and the Premier are vying for the Canarian talent Alberto Moleiro.
In LaLiga, Barça appears as the favorite to sign him, with Atlético close behind.
From the Premier, Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester City and Borussia Dortmund have also shown interest.
In the current campaign, Moleiro has added two goals and three assists in the eight matches he has played.
His ability to operate in different areas of the attacking line makes him an attractive piece for any system.
The footballer signed a contract that runs until 2030.
The release clause ranges between 50 and 60 million euros, according to Villarreal's sporting director.
Trained at UD Las Palmas, Moleiro played 147 matches with the Canarian side, scoring 13 goals and providing 14 assists.
In 2025 he made the jump to Villarreal under Marcelino's guidance, and in his first season he scored ten goals.
At international level, the Canarian has accumulated 11 caps with the Under-21 and eight with the Under-19.
He took part in the 2025 Under-21 European Championship, consolidating his experience in continental competitions.
Villarreal's position and future
At La Cerámica, Villarreal is already shielding itself against a possible wave of offers, referring to the player's release clause.
From the Barça camp, it is understood that Moleiro could consider a solid proposal, above those coming from the Premier League.
The forward's profile fits several of Barça's needs, which rates him among the options most favored by Deco.
The rapid rise of Alberto Moleiro's name in the market highlights the scarcity of Spanish offensive talents with tactical versatility.
His possible destination, whether at the Camp Nou or in the Premier, could influence the makeup of teams fighting for elite spots in Europe.
