Villarreal star pens contract extension

La Liga outfit Villarreal have this week announced a contract extension for a member of the club’s defensive ranks.

The player in question? Adrià Altimira.

Defender Altimira, or ‘Alti’ as he is better known, linked up with Villarreal on a short-term deal last summer, from FC Andorra.

And the 23-year-old went on line out for a combination of the club’s first-team and reserves.

All told, with Marcelino’s Yellow Submarine, Alti racked up 18 appearances, including 10 La Liga starts across a fruitful stretch between late 2023 and early this year.

And, evidently, as much proved enough to convince those behind the scenes at La Cerámica of the right-back’s deservingness of fresh terms.

In turn, early this week, Altimira has put pen to paper on an extension, for the next two seasons.

As per a statement across Villarreal’s website and social media platforms:

‘Villarreal CF and Adrià Altimira have reached an agreement to extend his contact with the Yellow Submarine until June 2026 after his first season at the club’
