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 be found for the future. La Cadena Ser reports that Villareal are interested and are proposing a loan with an option to buy, while the Parisian club wants a straight sale.
“Villareal are offering a loan with an option to buy of around 18 million euros!
However, the Parisian directors prefer an outright sale during this summer mercato, which complicates the prospects for Villarreal.
Negotiations continue.”
PSG’s summer mercato is shaping up to be a busy one, particularly in terms of departures. Villarreal, interested in a Parisian player, is proposing a loan with an option to buy of around 18 million euros, a formula that would enable the Spanish club to secure the transfer while limiting its immediate commitment.
However, Paris Saint-Germain, with a view to streamlining its squad and strengthening its finances, would prefer an outright sale in order to obtain immediate cash.
This divergence of positions is slowing down discussions, even if both parties remain open to dialogue. The soap opera is set to continue over the coming weeks, with the challenge for PSG being to find a satisfactory deal that meets both its sporting and financial objectives.
