A deal would be largely inexpensive for Villarreal, with expectations that an agreement with Heidenheim could be closed for approximately €7m. However, Beste would prefer to stay in Germany, which would be disappointing news for the Yellow Submarine.
Beste would be a top signing for Villarreal, although by the sounds of it, it won’t be straightforward to get a deal done. It remains to be seen whether their interest grows in the coming weeks.
