Liverpool, Atletico Madrid, and Aston Villa are reportedly keeping a close watch on Villarreal’s promising left-back, Sergi Cardona. Scouts from Liverpool and Aston Villa particularly observed Cardona during his performances against Rayo Vallecano and Alavés. Villarreal have initiated talks to extend Cardona’s contract, but there is a possibility they might entertain offers in the range of €15-20 million if the renewal discussions do not succeed. Having made 27 appearances for Villarreal this season, Cardona has demonstrated his attacking capabilities, reminiscent of Trent Alexander-Arnold's role on the opposite side of the pitch. This has heightened interest from elite clubs, including Atletico Madrid, who are eager to strengthen their defense with a player of Cardona's quality.
