Villarreal is planning to reinforce its attack with an experienced and physically powerful player, and the name of Duván Zapata is gaining strength in the offices of the Castellón club. The Colombian striker, currently with Torino, could put an end to his long journey in Italian football to land at La Cerámica, where he would take on a complementary role in the team's offensive rotation.
Colombian striker could arrive at Villarreal
At 34 years old, the forward born in Cali remains a threat in the opposition's area, although he is no longer guaranteed a spot in the starting eleven. His experience, history in major stages, and ability to play with his back to goal make him an interesting option to strengthen the squad without disrupting the salary balance. In Vila-real, they value his experience and believe he could be crucial in certain game contexts or competitions.
Zapata has left an indelible mark in Serie A, especially during his time at Atalanta under Gian Piero Gasperini, where he was part of one of the most formidable frontlines in Italian football. His power and goal-scoring instinct allowed him to become a reference point for the Bergamo club and one of the most prolific foreign players in the tournament's recent history. For the last year, he has been defending the colors of Torino, although his prominence has decreased slightly.
A potential transfer to Spanish football would herald a new chapter in the career of the Colombian international, who has not hidden his desire to explore new horizons before retiring. At Villarreal, they see him as a valuable asset to broaden attacking resources, provide rest for regular players, and bring character to the dressing room. His departure from Calcio seems imminent, and the yellow submarine is well positioned to secure his services.
