Now, amid the speculation, Roig has said, he will not stand in Pau Torres’ way if enticing offers are tabled this summer, Roig told El Transistor on the speculation that Torres is generating and the chances of him moving on: “If they arrive with the money and the player wants to move, but there must be an agreement between all three parties.”

The 24-year-old product of Villarreal’s academy system admits that a transfer will form part of his future.

He has told Sport: “Players who have gone through important clubs, when they talk about an experience they have had, I like to listen to them, both Paco Alcacer and Raul Albiol or Alberto Moreno.They tell you things that you have not yet experienced and that you think you would like to experience.”
