Squad12 Oct 2026

The knee: Péter Gulácsi out for 87 days

87 days on the announcement, and a year of quiet, unwatched rehabilitation behind it. Villarreal lose a player for a season; he loses something harder to name.

Squad12 Oct 2026

23 days out for Jan Blanco after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Villarreal will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Villarreal are still strangers to each other

6 new signings in one window. Every one may be an upgrade and the side can still be worse for a while, which is the part of a rebuild the verdicts never mention.

Market12 Oct 2026

Georges Mikautadze linked with a move away

The name of Georges Mikautadze keeps appearing in other people's back pages. Villarreal say nothing, which says plenty.

The dugout12 Oct 2026

A door opens for Gerard Moreno

He asked about his future and was given an answer with minutes in it. The manager has now made a promise in a building where promises are remembered, and the clock on it has started.

Squad12 Oct 2026

Péter Gulácsi has settled at Villarreal

The shrug has gone, the language is coming, and he now argues in training like somebody who expects to be here next year. Half a signing's value is this and none of it appears on a fee.

Squad5 Oct 2026

A knee injury of the worst kind for Péter Gulácsi

96 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. Villarreal lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.

Squad5 Oct 2026

32 days out for Jan Blanco after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Villarreal will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Match3 Oct 2026

Villarreal make it 5 in a row

Momentum is a hard thing to buy and an easy thing to lose, and right now Villarreal have 5 straight wins of it.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Pau Navarro is a better footballer than he was

Not a run of form — an actual step up, held for months. At 21 he is doing things at this level he could not do at the start of the season, and the coaching staff will tell you exactly which of them.

Squad5 Oct 2026

Tempers go at Villarreal

Renato Veiga was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Match3 Oct 2026

Villarreal see off Mallorca

Three points for Villarreal, 2‑0 the final word against Mallorca in a contest settled by the finer margins.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Alberto Moleiro was on a different afternoon to everybody else

8.22. There are performances a supporter describes to somebody who was not there and cannot quite convey; this was one, and the number does not help either.

Player ratings5 Oct 2026

Georges Mikautadze in the eights

A performance of 8.04 does not come along often, and when it does the rest of the team becomes scenery. He was magnificent.

The dugout5 Oct 2026

Tani Oluwaseyi gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Konstantin Tyukavin is a medical away from Villarreal

The deal with Dinamo Moscow is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets17 Aug 2026

Barcelona tell Villarreal: Joan García is not for sale

The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Market17 Aug 2026

Villarreal say no — this time

The offer from RB Leipzig for Luiz Júnior was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Renato Veiga signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Renato Veiga commits to Villarreal for another 5 years.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

1 academy graduates step up at Villarreal

Senior shirt numbers handed to boys the coaches have known since they were twelve. Most will not make it and all of them have already done the hard part.

Squad17 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Villarreal

Renato Veiga and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market17 Aug 2026

Villarreal promote Jan Blanco from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Jan Blanco has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

Boardroom17 Aug 2026

The ground is getting bigger

The plans are signed off at a capacity of 25443. Decisions like this are judged twenty years later, by people who were not in the room when they were taken.

Squad17 Aug 2026

The formation has left Jonás Luna behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. Villarreal will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.
