Report – Villarreal Won’t Trigger Option To Sign Inter Milan & Canada Wingback | OneFootball

Villarreal decided against purchasing Inter Milan loanee Tajon Buchanan after his loan deal expired at the start of this month.

Per Tuttosport via FCInterNews, there’s still a chance for the Canadian wingback to return to La Ceramica.

Tajon Buchanan joined the Yellow Submarine on a six-month loan in January.

Furthermore, Villarreal paid Inter €1 million to borrow the 26-year-old and included a buyout clause in the region of €13m.

However, after careful examination, they decided not to take it.

Though the price wasn’t high, Villarreal won’t turn Buchanan’s transfer permanent under current terms.

Instead, they hope to get a discount from Inter.

Buchanan made 13 La Liga appearances for the Castellon outfit, netting one goal and providing two assists.

However, he only registered four league starts, failing to secure a regular starting berth under Marcelino Garcia Toral.

Therefore, Villarreal will only sign the ex-Club Brugge star on favorable terms.

As for Buchanan, his chances of breaking into Cristian Chivu’s set-up look bleak.
