Dituro was ever present between the sticks for the Galicians in 2021/22, as part of a season long loan from Universidad Catolica, but they have decided against activating his €1.8m purchase clause.

The 36-year-old wants to remain in Spain in 2022/23, and a move to Villarreal offers a resolution for him, with Emery set to offer €2m for the veteran keeper, as per reports from Diario AS.

The opportunity to play European football next season is a key factor for Dituro with Emery determined to secure an experienced squad option.
