Cédric Bakambu: 2 more years at Villareal!

Cédric Bakambu Extends Villarreal Contract Until 2022

Cédric Bakambu has committed his future to Villarreal by extending his contract with the Spanish club until 2022, putting an end to departure rumors that had surrounded him. Initially tied to the Yellow Submarine until 2020, the Congolese striker has opted to continue his La Liga adventure.

The news was officially confirmed by Villarreal on Thursday. Bakambu, 26, joined the club two years ago after a stint with Bursaspor in Türkiye and has been a key attacking figure, scoring 11 goals in the previous season.

Despite recent interest from clubs such as West Ham, the forward has chosen to stay in Spain, where he will continue to challenge defenses and bolster Villarreal’s attacking options. With this contract extension, the club secures one of its top performers for another two years, ensuring stability in its frontline.
