Villarreal CF English JHaving played 19 times for Argentina, Funes Mori had become something of a regular under Edgardo Bauza before his knee injury and with his strength, passion, aerial ability and talent on the ball it is easy to see why the former River Plate defender was a popular figure.
Welcome to #Villarreal, 💛😊👏👏 /CuRV3nKutb Middlesbrough and Liga MX club Monterrey, where Ramiro Funes Mori’s brother Rogelio currently plays, were both linked but Villarreal moved swiftly to complete a deal and bolster their squad ahead of the Europa League campaign their fifth-placed LaLiga finish produced. Roberto Martínez paid £9.5 million for Funes Mori after the defender had helped River Plate to the Copa Libertadores title and although the fee paid by Villarreal is undisclosed, Everton are understood to have recouped that money and could potentially post a profit with some add-ons. Funes Mori will join the Yellow Submarine after almost three years at Everton but after making an initial impact at the club, the Argentina international slipped down the pecking order and last season was reduced to just four appearances due to a knee injury. Were it not for injury Ramiro Funes Mori may well have been in Russia but instead while his Argentina teammates were suffering a damaging World Cup defeat to Croatia, Villarreal were announcing that the 27-year-old defender had signed a four-year deal at the club.
