Luiz junior

Marcelino Garcia Toral: Spanish club Villarreal have signed Brazilian-born goalkeeper, Luiz Junior from Portuguese side Famalicao for 12 million euros (13.3 million US dollars) to bolster their squad for the La Liga 2024-25 season that started last week.

The arrival of 23-year-old Junior helps Villarreal replace Filip Jorgensen, who they sold to Chelsea earlier in the summer. He will compete with another new arrival, Diego Conde to be the first choice for coach Marcelino Garcia Toral.

Junior, who has a Portuguese passport, has agreed on a contract until the end of June 2030 and moves to Spain after 140 first-team appearances at his former club, where he has been the goalkeeper who has made the most penalty saves in recent years, reports Xinhua.
