Pau Cabanes has been impressive during the preseason, earning the trust of the coaching staff with his performance in friendly matches. Despite receiving offers from Primera clubs, Villarreal has rejected these proposals for now, indicating that Pau is not leaving at the moment. He was on loan to Deportivo Alavés last season, which helped him gain experience. Clubs have shown renewed interest in him, but he remains a valuable asset for Villarreal's squad depth. He will start with a 'B' team number but will train with the first team.

Pau Cabanes may have a loan opportunity depending on other transfer movements at Villarreal.
