Carlos Soler, the 28-year-old midfielder who arrived at Paris Saint-Germain in the summer of 2022 from Valencia with a contract running until 2027, failed to convince on the pitch and was loaned out to West Ham for the 2024-2025 season. He has now returned to Paris, with a solution to find for the future. Marca confirms the interest of Villarreal and Brighton. With the Spanish club initiating discussions.
“The first discussions between clubs have already begun”.
“Carlos Soler seems to be on the Castellón team’s agenda, with Marcelino the best option, as one of the main options the Yellows are already working on for this deal.
Initial discussions between clubs have already begun, and the formula for making the operation viable is under consideration: a transfer with an option to buy or a permanent transfer.
Although the Blues and Whites aren’t the only ones interested, and teams such as Brighton have also targeted the midfielder, the attractions offered by the Yellows could tip the balance.”
The proximity of Valencia, the possibility of playing in the Champions League and the chance to play again with the coach with whom he has consolidated his place in the top flight are all important reasons.”
A number of media outlets are now talking along the same lines, so we hope it’s not for nothing. There’s reason to think so, but beware of rumours that sometimes swell up around nothing or almost nothing. Also, a discussion is far from guaranteeing a possible agreement. Even if it were possible.
In any case, Soler has every reason to be tempted. He could play an important role at Villarreal, while he knows he’s in the background at PSG. What’s more, there’s the possibility of playing in the Champions League with the 5th-placed club in La Liga, and the proximity to Valencia, where he hails from. What’s more, the midfielder is back with Marcelino, the coach with whom he shone before signing for PSG.
Let’s wait and see whether the negotiations are concrete and whether an agreement will be possible. And let’s not forget that other clubs may still have something to say about the matter, and that nothing has yet been decided.
