Manchester United have confirmed the departure of centre-back Willy Kambwala to Spanish club Villarreal on a permanent deal.
The French youth international has put pen to paper on a five-year deal at the Estadio de la Cerámica in a deal understood to be worth €11.5million (£9.6m). United have received €5.5m (£4.6m) up front, with €6m (£5m) in add-ons.
Kambwala was understood to have been reluctant to leave the club until he was informed by Erik ten Hag that he would be down the pecking order this season. United are working on a deal to sign Bayern Munich’s Matthijs de Ligt and have had a bid accepted for Lille’s Leny Yoro.
Jonny Evans also put pen to paper on a new contract on Friday, meaning competition for places in the heart of the defence could soon be high at Old Trafford. The club, however, is planning to cash-in on Victor Lindelof ahead of his contract expiring in June next year.
