Done Deal: Inter sell Buchanan to Villarreal for 9m | OneFootball

Inter have reportedly agreed the sale of Canada international Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal for €9m plus a cut of the future fee, though he had been in talks with Sassuolo.

According to Sport Mediaset, the two clubs have given the all clear and it is going to be a deal worth €9m with add-ons.

There had been a chance of him remaining within Serie A for newly promoted Sassuolo, but Villarreal won out, especially as he already played there in the last six months on loan.

Inter spell short-lived for unlucky Buchanan

Buchanan never really got to make his mark with the Nerazzurri jersey following the €7.3m move from Club Brugge in January 2024.

This was partly due to a serious injury after fracturing his leg on international duty with Canada in July 2024, meaning he made only 17 competitive appearances for Inter, with one goal scored.

He went out on loan to Villarreal in January 2025 and contributed one goal with two assists in 13 games.
