Villarreal has set its sights on Borja Mayoral to take the place of Alexander Sorloth, who is very close to becoming a new player for Atlético de Madrid. Despite Villarreal's sports director, Miguel Ángel Tena, stating on Thursday that they were not looking for a replacement for Sorloth, recent reports suggest otherwise and point to the Yellow Submarine already targeting their next forward.

Tena's statements seemed to be a strategy to pressure Atlético to close the deal for Sorloth, as revealed by journalist Matteo Moretto to Relevo. Despite the official denials, negotiations between Villarreal and Atlético for a €35 million agreement are underway and could be finalized soon.

The chosen one to replace Sorloth at Villarreal

Simultaneously, Villarreal has started talks with Getafe to sign Borja Mayoral. The forward, who has been key for Getafe, has an agreement with Real Sociedad, but the transfer has been complicated due to Umar Sadiq's refusal to join the azulón club. This has opened a window of opportunity for Villarreal, which aims to secure Mayoral before the transfer market closes.

Mayoral, 27 years old, is coming off a standout season in LaLiga, despite being interrupted by a meniscus injury in March. Fully recovered, the forward is eager to regain his goal-scoring form that had him in contention for the Pichichi before his injury. His addition to Villarreal could provide the offensive spark the team needs following Sorloth's imminent departure.

The signing of Mayoral would not only compensate for the loss of Sorloth but also add a new dimension to Villarreal's attack, which aims to compete on multiple fronts this season. With negotiations well underway, the club expects to close the deal soon to ensure the forward is ready to join his new teammates and adapt to the coach's style of play.
