Cédric Bakambu Set for Villarreal Move After Impressive Spell in Turkey
Cédric Bakambu appears to be on the verge of a move to Spain, with Villarreal reportedly closing in on the signing of the Congolese international striker.
Following a standout season with Bursaspor in the Turkish Süper Lig, the former Sochaux forward has caught the attention of several European clubs. However, according to Spanish newspaper AS, it is Villarreal—nicknamed the Yellow Submarine—who are leading the race for his signature.
Bakambu’s potential arrival comes as the La Liga side looks to bolster its attacking options ahead of the new campaign, especially with the club preparing for a demanding season that includes participation in the UEFA Europa League.
The 24-year-old’s blend of pace, power, and finishing ability was on full display in Turkey, where he quickly established himself as one of the league’s most dangerous forwards. Villarreal will be hoping he can replicate that form in Spain and provide a new dimension to their frontline.
Should the deal be completed, it would mark a significant step in Bakambu’s career, as he prepares to compete in one of Europe’s top leagues and on the continental stage. The transfer is expected to be finalised in the coming days.
