Ilias Akhomach is very close to becoming Villarreal's new player, according to 'AS'. The Barcelona academy player's plans have changed due to Leeds United's relegation to the Championship. He will join Setien's side as a free agent.

Ilias Akhomach will leave Barcelona next season to sign for Villarreal. The academy player's contract expires at the end of June and it is very likely that he will not renew it.

According to 'AS', the striker will join Quique Setien's squad as a free agent. The 19-year-old has been promised that he will play for both the first team and the second team.

The same media outlet reports that the Spaniard will be registered as a second team player. Akhomach was very close to joining Leeds United but his plans changed due to the English side's relegation to the Championship.

The striker is willing to change his destination after not having many opportunities at Barca Atletic as he will try his luck at Villarreal.
