It was never a secret that Roberto Ayala was going to leave Valencia at the end of the last season. However, mere days into his tenure with new club, Villarreal, he's departed the Madrigal for Zaragoza...
In a sensational move, Roberto Ayala is set to leave Villarreal for Real Zaragoza, mere days after formally becoming a staff member at the Yellow Submarine.
The Argentinian internationalist ended his seven year spell at Valencia this year and, prior to his departure under freedom of contract, negotiated a deal with Villarreal. It was with the Madrigal club that he was widely expected to end his career.
However, just weeks after the end of the Spanish season, and long before he's even kicked a ball for the club he joined on June 30, he's left the Vila-Real side.Real Zaragoza stepped in to secure his signature following the departure of Gabi Milito.
Seeking a new centre-back, they paid up Ayala's release clause and landed their second defender of the transfer window after Getafe's Parades.Ayala is currently in Venezuela with the Argentinian national team, preparing for Sunday's Copa America final against Brazil. Overall, he played 183 league games for Valencia... and zero for Villarreal.
