Villarreal extends Pau Navarro contract until 2031

Navarro turned a backup role into a regular starter during the second half of the campaign, anchoring the back line with solid performances. He featured in 23 league games, one domestic cup match and three Champions League fixtures last season.

Having debuted in La Liga at 19, the 21‑year‑old is now regarded as a rising defensive talent. The club’s decision to lock him in until 2031 underlines its commitment to long‑term stability.
