Willy Kambwala nears loan move from Villarreal to Osasuna

Osasuna and Villarreal have reached a preliminary agreement for the one-season loan of central defender Willy Kambwala to the Navarre-based club. The deal may include an option for Osasuna to purchase the player, though reports suggest the contemplated amount might be high for the club.

Kambwala, a 21-year-old defender who joined Villarreal from Manchester United, is seeking more playing time following a season hampered by a serious muscle injury. His arrival is intended to bolster an Osasuna defense currently affected by injuries and departures.

The move is closely linked to the future of Enzo Boyomo. With Kambwala's expected arrival, Osasuna would have a surplus of central defenders, potentially facilitating the sale of Boyomo, who has attracted interest from clubs in the Premier League and Serie A.
