However, this is not the only option they are exploring. Another potential candidate for the role is Pau Lopez, a skilled goalkeeper who has played for several top-tier teams including Espanyol, Betis, and Marseille.

Lopez recently joined Toluca in Mexico's Liga MX but it seems his stay may be short-lived. There are already rumors that his contract could be terminated, allowing him to return to Spain and potentially join either Villarreal or Sevilla.

While Villarreal are interested in Lopez, they may face competition from their fellow Spanish club, Sevilla, if he becomes available.
