Luis Maximiano, goalkeeper of Almería, is an option for Villarreal as they seek to reinforce their goalkeeper position. Villarreal has considered his possible incorporation in previous seasons. Villarreal is looking for a reliable goalkeeper to cover the departure of Filip Jörgensen. Almería is only interested in a sale, which halted the operation.

Villarreal is in negotiations with Almería to sign Luís Maximiano. Almería exercised the option to buy Luís Maximiano for 8.1 million euros after his loan spell and is now looking to sell him for a higher amount.
