Villarreal has closed the transfer of Etta Eyong to Levante for just 3 million euros, although the operation hides a strategic trick for him to return to the club next summer.

The Granotas secure a promising forward, while the Yellow Submarine retains a buy-back clause that will allow them to keep control over the attacker.

The deal: 50% of rights and buy-back option

The agreement involves selling only half of the player's rights, as Cádiz CF owns the other 50% of Eyong's economic rights. With this maneuver, the yellows ensure that the Andalusian club receives barely 1.5 million euros from the transaction, minimizing the benefit of a rival club in LaLiga.

The key lies in the release clause: until now, it was 6 million euros, an affordable sum for other teams. With the agreed pact, Levante enjoys the player at almost no cost for a season, and Villarreal can repurchase him next summer for a reduced amount, retaining 100% of his ownership.

Etta Eyong, a growing forward

At just 21 years old, Etta Eyong is considered one of the most promising forwards in Spanish football. Trained in Villarreal's academy, he stood out in the reserve team for his physical power, speed, and dribbling skills. His ability to play both as a central striker and on the wings makes him a versatile asset.

In the first team, he showed glimpses of his talent, although he needed more continuous playing time that he was unlikely to find this season at the Yellow Submarine. With Levante UD, he will have the opportunity to gain more prominence in LaLiga EA Sports and prove he can be decisive in the top flight.

The move reflects a clear strategy by Villarreal: securing the future of a talent from their academy without losing control of his progression. According to sources close to the board, the intention is to bring him back in 2026 at an affordable cost, either to strengthen their squad or to sell him at a higher price in the international market.

On the other hand, Levante benefits in the short term by adding a high-level forward for a negligible amount. The Granotas fans welcome a player with significant potential, aware that his stay may be brief but exciting.

This "trick" in the transfer of Etta Eyong illustrates how Spanish clubs use financial formulas to balance sporting and economic interests. Villarreal ensures the future of a player they value, while Cádiz sees limited profits. Levante, on the other hand, enjoys a promising forward almost at no cost. A win-win situation for both teams and the player himself, who will have more playing time to continue his development.
