About Gerard Moreno's Contract Negotiations
A few weeks ago, Villarreal announced that they were negotiating the renewal of one of their youth academy gems and now a key player in the first team, Gerard Moreno. The Catalan forward's contract will expire in a year, which would leave him free on June 30th and able to negotiate his future freely on January 1st. This situation, if not resolved with a contract extension, would make it difficult for the club to keep a highly sought-after player for many clubs at no cost. Therefore, to avoid this type of problem, the club, led by Fernando Roig, had decided to resolve this situation through the renewal and extension of the player's contract this summer. This way, the player's release clause is increased and his contractual situation is improved to match his current status in the team.
Difficulties in Gerard Moreno's Contract Renewal
However, it seems that Villarreal's plans are not going as expected, as Gerard Moreno has not yet renewed his contract. It appears that the initial proposal from Villarreal is not to the player's liking, so a better offer is possible. If that happens, there would be no problems and it would all end up being a demand from the forward, who expected a better valuation from the club. But the problem would arise if Moreno is not interested in extending his stay with Villarreal, as he would reject any offers the club might present. Therefore, we have to wait and see how the situation evolves and if it finally ends with the player's continuity, resolving the situation. If not resolved, the club could consider market options that arise for him. At least they could generate economic returns, something that would not be possible if the player becomes a free agent in a year.
