English interest in Capdevila

Capdevila: Interest

Joan Capdevila's agent has confirmed that there is English interest in the Spanish international.

The 32-year-old is out-of-contract with Villarreal at the end of the season, and is free to talk to clubs in January.

Villarreal are due to hold talks with him this month, but it remains to be seen if Spain's first choice left-back will stay put at El Madrigal.

"The renewal of the contract, in the next 15-20 days we will also talk about this with Villarreal," his agent Horacio Gaggioli told Calciomercato.

"The hypothesis of a renewal cannot be ruled out, with the club we were agreed to talk at the end of November.

"However, Joan is playing at the highest level and many teams would want him.

"I know that Juventus is interested and in the summer there was an attractive offer that didn't materialise, but there is also other interest.

"Schalke, Valencia, as well as some clubs in England, but obviously we won't do anything until we have spoken with Villarreal. "
