Aissa Mandi could leave Villarreal this summer

After a very good season, including a Champions League semi-final, the Villarreal board started to work on putting together the squad to face the upcoming competitions.

In that sense, the Yellow Submarine could lose one of their players. Djamel Belmad, coach of the Algerian national team, surprised everyone by saying that defender Aissa Mandi is considering leaving the Spanish club.

"Mandi will surely start the pre-season with Villarreal very soon... or with another team. He is looking for more playing time," said the Algerian coach, according to comments published by 'Marca'.

For now nothing has been officially confirmed, but what is certain is that the 30-year-old centre-back is looking for a way out in this transfer window in order to achieve more playing time at another club. There could be news in the coming weeks.
