CEO announces ‘he does not regret’ letting star join Chelsea
Villarreal CEO Fernando Roig Negueroles has come out and admitted that he does not regret letting Filip Jorgensen leave the club and making the move to CHELSEA,
The club have high hopes for Jorgensen and consider the Denmark Under-21 international as a potential No.1 in the future after making the decision to get a transfer deal done foe the big man.
However – he has not yet made his Premier League debut as he is sitting behind Robert Sanchez as the clubs number two and Jorgensen will have to be patient for regular minutes under Enzo Maresca.
Negueroles has now come out and revealed that he does not regret letting the stopper making the move to the club – he told Spanish publication AS: ‘We didn’t expect to sell Jorgensen so soon, especially as soon as this year.
‘We were aware of his enormous potential and we thought he would leave, but not now.
‘Honestly, and I have made this clear to him and to those around him, I think Jorgensen was hasty [with his departure].
‘He had room for improvement and growth here, but the move was the player’s will.’
‘We didn’t intend to make that sale, but it happened this way because he is a great goalkeeper for the present and the future and with qualities that can make him one of the most important goalkeepers in Europe,’ he continued.
‘I don’t regret his departure. These are football situations.’
