Diego Villares has completed this Thursday its magical week. If last Saturday he was key in the comeback against Tudelano, originating the third goal and scoring the fourth in his goalscoring debut with the first team, this Thursday has signed his renewal with Deportivo until 2025. The one from Vilalba thus expands his relationship with the club from A Coruña, also becoming the only member of the squad with a commitment of this caliber.
The importance of Villares at Depor has not stopped growing since he was promoted to the first team in January 2021. He opted to stay at Fabril despite being under-23 and saw his tenacity rewarded with his debut in Segunda B. He was a fixture for Rubén de la Barrera and that has not changed despite the arrival of Borja Jiménez and the summer reinforcements.
In addition to his versatility, the coach has one of his essentials in the Galician. He has played a total of 32 games, 28 of them as a starter and he is already over 2,500 minutes. Only Lapela, Juergen and Mackay surpass that participation in what is only their first full season in the third category of Spanish football.
Villares and a hard-won renewal
There have been few doubts in Deportivo with the renewal of Villares. An upgrade that has been earned by the player. He always showed his intention to continue in the team and several weeks ago he had achieved his goal by activating an automatic renewal clause based on the number of games. But the harmony of both parties was good and they wanted to consolidate the relationship with a multi-year agreement that has finally materialized in three more campaigns.
