La Liga rivals Villarreal are actively searching for a new goalkeeper to fill the void left by the sale of star goalkeeper Joensen to Chelsea this summer, according to the latest reports from transfer expert Moretto. And they have set their sights on Almeria's Portuguese goalkeeper Maximiano.
Maximiano's career at Lazio has not gone well, but he has earned recognition for his performances during his loan spell at Almeria last season. Despite failing to help his team successfully survive relegation, Maximiano impressed with his solid play and outstanding performance in the game. As a result, Almeria decided to buy him out for 8 million euros in the hope that he will continue to contribute to the team in the new season.
However, Maximiano's future seems uncertain. With Villarreal's interest in him growing, transfer talks for the Portuguese goalkeeper have begun. Villarreal are in dire need of a new goalkeeper to stabilize their backline after losing Joensen, and Maximiano's outstanding performance has certainly given them hope.
For Maximiano, joining Villarreal will be a new challenge and opportunity. As a strong team in La Liga, Villarreal has a higher level of competition and a broader stage. If he can continue to play well here, his career will undoubtedly reach a new peak.
