Diego Conde, who had limited opportunities at Villarreal behind Arnau Tenas and Luiz Júnior, could leave the club this summer. Sevilla's initial interest was driven by the outgoing Director of Football, Antonio Cordón, and the club was considered to have an advantage in the effort to sign him due to Cordón's excellent relationship with Villarreal. The 27-year-old Spanish goalkeeper, who Sevilla was also interested in during 2024, reportedly wants to relaunch his career. Following Cordón's departure, Sevilla's sporting management is now considering resuming negotiations to sign the player. ABC de Sevilla reported that the priority is to attempt a loan, though a low-cost transfer is also an option, and his arrival would not require a large financial expense. Conde joined Villarreal in July 2024 and his contract runs until 2029; his Transfermarkt market value is €4.00m.
