At the beginning of the year, Santi Cáseres closed his loan with America and his transfer to Vélez Sarfield has already been made official, where he will play on loan after the agreement with Villarreal.
Villarreal made it official this Saturday the loan of the Argentine midfielder Santi Cáseres to the Club Atlético Vélez Sarfield of his country, a team in which he will play on loan until December.
At the end of the week, both clubs had already closed this agreement, so the player has already undergone the medical examination and was waiting for the final details to be closed.
He played on loan for the Mexican team América since January 2020, with which his loan ended at the beginning of this year.
The final details were based on the possible buyout option by the Argentine team, a possibility that does not exist obligatorily, and the clause that Villarreal could recall the player in June if necessary, which has finally been included.
With this, Cáseres will play on loan at Vélez until December 31 of this year, being able to be recovered by Villarreal if needed in June.
This is the second loan of the Argentine player, who does not seem to fit into the plans of the club, after being one of the strong bets three seasons ago.
The midfielder arrived at the Castellon team three seasons ago, with Villarreal paying a transfer fee of around ten million euros, although after playing as a starter at the beginning of the 18-19 season, a knee injury thwarted his projection, becoming a player who did not fit into coach Javi Calleja's plans in the second half of the season.
Cáseres was supposed to return to Villarreal, with whom he still has the rest of this season and two more seasons, but from the Spanish club, it was already made clear that the only option for the player was to seek an exit, either on loan or a permanent transfer in this market.
After considering several options, Cáseres decided to return to his former club, with whom he will play the rest of this season.
