Villarreal CF closed the summer market with unusual tranquility not seen in recent years, without major sales or last-minute operations. The yellow entity maintained the team's backbone intact and bet on continuity to face a season of maximum demand. Pape Gueye was for much of the summer the name that most sounded like a possible important departure from the club, but as the weeks passed, his continuity was practically assured.
