The ambitious project of NEOM SC has put Senegalese midfielder Pape Gueye from Villarreal in the spotlight, which could trigger a domino effect in the market and facilitate the arrival of Carlos Soler at the Yellow Submarine.

The Saudi team, which has recently been promoted to the Saudi Pro League, has already initiated discussions with the Spanish club, although they have not yet presented a formal offer, as reported by Futbol Fantasy.

Initial negotiations between NEOM and Villarreal

Villarreal has confirmed that talks with NEOM are ongoing, but Gueye's contract, which runs until 2028, gives them reassurance. The Senegalese player, 25 years old and a former Olympique de Marseille player, has not yet made a final decision, although his circle admits he is open to hearing the proposal.

The economic appeal of the Saudi league, coupled with a growing project led by Christophe Galtier, could influence his decision.

NEOM Sports Club has surprised this summer with signings of renowned players like Alexandre Lacazette or Marcin Bulka, aiming to quickly establish themselves in the Saudi football elite. The acquisition of Gueye would fit their strategy: strengthening the midfield with a physical, experienced player with European experience.

In the last season, Gueye played 34 matches across all competitions, standing out for his ability to regain possession and break lines with vertical passes.

The Operation Bringing Carlos Soler Closer

The potential departure of Pape Gueye would pave the way for Villarreal to revive the signing of Carlos Soler, currently at Paris Saint-Germain. The 28-year-old Spanish midfielder does not fit into Luis Enrique's plans and is looking to return to LaLiga for better chances of making Luis de la Fuente's roster for the 2026 World Cup.

The main obstacle to his transfer has been the cost demanded by PSG, but the income from Gueye's sale could unlock the deal.

Marcelino's Push to Reinforce the Midfield

Marcelino García Toral sees Carlos Soler as an ideal fit for his system, particularly due to his versatility and goal-scoring ability. The coach aims to strengthen his midfield with a player capable of contributing goals and international experience.

Soler, who played 36 matches for PSG in the last season, scored 4 goals and provided 3 assists, but had a secondary role. His intention is to regain prominence in Spain.

If NEOM finalizes the signing of Pape Gueye, Villarreal CF would have the necessary funds to pursue a strategic signing like Carlos Soler. The move would benefit all parties: the Saudis would gain strength in midfield, the Castellon club would acquire a creative player, and the Spanish player could rejuvenate his career in LaLiga.
