Last summer, Villarreal signed Barry from FC Basel in a deal worth an estimated \u20ac12m. He featured 37 times across all competitions last season, managing 11 goals and four assists \u2013 all of which came in his 35 La Liga appearances. And as it turns out, this will be his one and only season at La Ceramica.<\/p>\n
Premier League side Everton have been chasing Barry for weeks, and after several rounds of talks, it has now been reported by Fabrizio Romano<\/a> that a deal has been struck.<\/p>\n Everton have agreed to pay \u20ac35m plus add-ons for Barry, just below his \u20ac40m release clause. Villarreal had been reluctant to sell due to rating the 22-year-old very highly, but the fee on offer has proven to be too good to turn down.<\/p>\n The sales of Baena and Barry will bring in \u20ac90m to Villarreal. Approximately \u20ac15m of that has already been spent on replacing the former with Alberto Moleiro, and now the Yellow Submarine must begin their search for a new number nine.<\/p>\n Villarreal have arguably been the best team in Spain at doing transfer business in recent weeks. Baena and Barry will be added to big-money sales of Filip Jorgensen, Pau Torres, Samuel Chukwueze and Nicolas Jackson, and despite makes these sales, Marcelino Garcia Toral\u2019s side still managed to qualify for next season\u2019s Champions League. As such, you\u2019d back them to replace Barry effectively.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The post Villarreal net \u20ac90m in transfer fees as Premier League deal agreed for 22-year-old<\/a> appeared first on Football Espa\u00f1a<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Villarreal have been excellent in doing transfer business in recent years, and that trend will be continuing in 2025.
