Alfonso Pedraza to leave Villarreal after 15 years | OneFootball

Villarreal CF has made official what had long been an open secret, marking the end of an era. Alfonso Pedraza and the Castellón-based club will part ways at the end of the current 2025/26 season, bringing to a close a successful and loyal 15-year spell together.

The full-back from Córdoba arrived at a very young age in the Yellow Submarine’s academy, where he developed into a professional. With the first team, Pedraza has made a total of 234 official appearances, cementing his status as one of the club’s contemporary legends.

At the top of his golden list of honours stands, above all, the historic UEFA Europa League title won in 2021. In addition, the Andalusian wing-back was a key figure in the club’s run to the Champions League semi-finals in 2022 and in the UEFA Super Cup.

The Yellow No. 24 says goodbye in the best possible way. He leaves the club of his life having qualified, for the second year in a row, for Europe’s top club competition — the ideal finishing touch to his impeccable career at the highest level.

The board is already preparing a farewell worthy of his legacy. Villarreal CF will pay an emotional tribute to Pedraza at the Estadio de la Cerámica during the final LALIGA match against Atlético de Madrid, coinciding with the Champions celebration.
