The Spanish club confirmed that they would like to sell the captain of the Argentine national team Juan Pablo Sorin.
The 30-year-old defender participated in this year's World Cup with the promising Argentine national team, but stumbled at the quarter-final barrier, losing to the tournament hosts Germany after an eleven-meter penalty shootout.
The player has been linked with a move to the English Premier League with Tottenham or Bolton, but the president of the "Yellow Submarines" Fernando Roig said that there are many clubs eager to have his signature.
"We are negotiating Sorin's departure this summer," emphasized F. Roig. - "For many reasons, we are almost convinced that we will sell him. We have had several offers."
J.P. Sorin's contract with Villarreal team is still valid for two more years, but it is believed that the team's head coach Manuel Pellegrino no longer needs the player for the upcoming season.
Although the Argentine hopes to return to Spain at the end of this month after his vacation, it is said that Bundesliga's Stuttgart and Inter Milan are also interested in the defender.
Last season, Villarreal qualified for the UEFA Champions League and performed quite successfully - reaching the semi-finals, where they lost to Arsenal from London. In the Spanish championship, the club finished in 7th position.
