The name Taty Castellanos is back in the spotlight at Villarreal. The Villarreal is preparing significant moves for January, and the Argentine forward has become the preferred option to strengthen an attacking line that urgently needs variations in this demanding LaLiga.

The club considers the departure of Manor Solomon a priority, as he has not fit into Marcelino's plans. His exit would free up space both financially and in terms of players to expedite an operation that the coaching staff deems strategic to boost the team's offensive performance.

Villarreal aims to redefine its attack with the arrival of Taty Castellanos

Villarreal faces a crucial moment in its planning. Solomon, hampered by physical problems, lack of continuity, and a more complex adaptation than anticipated, has failed to establish the expected role. This situation, coupled with the club's desire to incorporate a more versatile profile, has led the board to once again turn to Taty Castellanos.

The Argentine striker, capable of acting as a reference in the box as well as on the flanks, fits perfectly with what Marcelino has been asking for since his arrival. Mobility, aggressiveness in movement off the ball, defensive work, and goal-scoring abilities. His versatility is especially valued in a squad that needs options to break down defenses and regain depth.

Lazio is open to negotiating, and Villarreal is aware

Lazio does not rule out considering offers for their forward in January. Although the player is under contract, the Roman club's need to balance its books creates a favorable scenario for negotiation. The estimated economic range to initiate discussions would be between 12 and 15 million euros, a figure within reach for a Villarreal that sees the operation as an investment for the present and future.

In the Villarreal's sporting direction, there is optimism. They believe that the player's desire to return to a competitive environment where he has already excelled — as demonstrated during his time at Girona — could be a decisive factor in negotiations that will need to be handled with precision.

Immediate adaptation and experience in LaLiga: the ideal combination

One of the main attractions of Taty Castellanos is his prior experience in LaLiga. With Girona, he showed that he can quickly adapt to the pace of Spanish football and make an impact in big games. His physical power, ability to attack spaces, and defensive commitment make him a very useful profile for teams seeking verticality.

Villarreal, currently going through an irregular season in the championship, understands that adding a player who already knows the national competitive context reduces risks and accelerates performance timelines. Moreover, his ability to play in multiple positions would allow Marcelino to adjust systems without losing offensive presence.

Taty Castellanos, on Villarreal's agenda

An immediate impact reinforcement for LaLiga

The Argentine would fit in from day one in a league that values his determination and ability to decide matches. His intelligence inside the box and aggressiveness in pressing can complement and enhance the attackers already part of the project.

An operation that makes sense both sporting and financially

The decision to go for Taty Castellanos is pure logic. It elevates the level of the attack in sporting terms; tactically, it offers solutions that are currently lacking in the team; and economically, it falls within a manageable range, especially if Solomon's departure is finalized.

In conclusion, Villarreal has set its sights on a target and knows that January could be the month to change the dynamics in LaLiga. The sports management is determined to take a step forward, and that step has a clear name: Taty Castellanos.
