Villarreal fears losing Etta Eyong, a 21-year-old Cameroonian forward who has become one of LaLiga's sensations. With a release clause of just 5-6 million euros, several clubs have shown interest in taking advantage of the opportunity before the end of the summer transfer window.

The Submarino Amarillo considers the Cameroonian forward a future project, but his contract, valid until 2027, has not been renewed yet, keeping the clause at a very affordable figure for both domestic and foreign teams.

The situation worries the Castellon board, which is trying to handle the case discreetly to prevent the player from becoming a top target for other clubs. Real Betis has already inquired about him, while Atletico Madrid is considering his signing if Sorloth's departure materializes.

Betis and Atletico keep a close eye on Etta Eyong

Betis' interest recalls the episode experienced with Ayoze Perez, while in Atletico's case, the operation would resemble the signing of Samu Omorodion, another young promise who attracted attention thanks to his scoring potential and was eventually sold for a high price.

Furthermore, Cadiz CF, Eyong's development club, retains 50% of any future sale, making the deal even more attractive for prospective buyer teams.

Stats justifying the interest

Etta Eyong's potential is no coincidence. Last season, he scored 20 goals with Villarreal B and was crucial in the final phase, even scoring for the first team against Girona in just 33 minutes played.

In this preseason, he confirmed as Villarreal's top scorer with three goals, including one against Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium. His league debut at La Ceramica could not have been better: the team's first goal in the 2025-26 season. These stats explain why he is considered one of the most exciting emerging talents in Spanish football.

Marcelino's role and the market

Marcelino Garcia Toral has publicly acknowledged that the player's future will depend on how the squad shapes up. "The best decision for all sides will be seen after the transfer window closes," he stated after the match against Oviedo.

Villarreal is scouting forwards to strengthen their attack. If two signings are made, Eyong's departure would be more likely, either on loan or through a transfer. In any case, the board aims to avoid his release clause becoming the easiest path to losing such a valuable asset. A challenging scenario for the Yellow Submarine, who could lose a gem for a price far below his true value.
