Villarreal's coach, Unai Emery, indicated at a press conference that given the information that had appeared about Barcelona's interest in signing Argentine defender Juan Foyth, he sees the footballer happy at the club and assured that he has given him peace of mind. The coach expressed his disagreement with the fact that the transfer market remains open once the official competition has started and evaluated the situation of other players who could leave the club.
"It is not affecting, but it does not make sense that the market does not close at the start of the championship. I do not understand that it is being played and the market does not close. Foyth has discomfort, but it is true that it can affect us that they can give exit movements. It would affect us that an unexpected clause payment is executed or that the player thinks that he can leave for an offer that interests him, "he said.
"We are aware of the market and what can happen, there are some cases that we expected and others that we did not. Juan Foyth is very happy here, he is grateful and he gives me peace of mind. I have spoken with him about the game and no more. We know what he wants Villarreal, we know that the player is calm and we no longer know about Barcelona," he added.
Asked about the departures that seem imminent by Boulaye Dia and Paco Alcácer, he replied that "they knew the idea and it has always been that. They have been with the group more or less, but with that idea. I don't know if they are close or not, there have been movements And we'll see what happens."
Regarding the possible arrival of Uruguayan striker Edinson Cavani, he admitted that "it is a name that has been there, but we are going to talk and analyze how we will be facing this start and what we need. It is a strange and very intense league of games and demands. All this must be analyzed and prevented, that is why it must be adjusted and we are going to work to see what solution we take. With the exits that there are, we are going to see the possibilities that we have".
Another name on the market is that of the under-21 international defender Jorge Cuenca for whom a First Club has shown interest in getting him on loan. "Until August 31 nothing can be confirmed, but he is doing a good job and he is involved and eager. Information comes out but I trust my feelings more and I see it well here," concluded Emery.
