Fábregas's Como ‘to enter’ talks over Kambwala with Villarreal and Osasuna | OneFootball

Fábregas's Como have stepped into talks between Villarreal and Osasuna over Willy Kambwala, a move that could change the defender's destination within hours, according to Superdeporte. His departure from Villarreal remains likely.

Osasuna had a verbal agreement with Kambwala and planned a season-long loan with an option to buy. Como have entered strongly and could take the signing, which would alter Osasuna's plans for Boyomo, now seemingly on hold.

Kambwala joined Villarreal two seasons ago from Manchester United in a deal worth 10 million. A powerful defender who takes risks on the ball, he suits sides that build from the back but must refine his decision-making.

He gained prominence in the second half of his first campaign and looked set to become a starter. A thigh injury last season sidelined him for months, he played only two matches and starts this term as Villarreal's fifth-choice centre-back. The club still value his potential and want to keep control of his rights.

Como 1907's proposal could satisfy both Villarreal and Kambwala. The Italian club have significant financial muscle, with summer spending up to 66 million euros, and will play in the Champions League for the first time in their history this season.
