Sharjah FC ´unilaterally annul´ loan move for Alcacer, Villarreal announce

Villarreal have claimed that Paco Alcacer’s loan move to Sharjah FC has been annulled “unilaterally” by the United Arab Emirates club.

Alcacer’s temporary transfer was confirmed by the LaLiga side on Wednesday, only for an update to follow on Friday saying the deal was off.

The Spain international joined Villarreal in January 2020 from Borussia Dortmund on a five-and-a-half-year contract, but has scored just 21 goals in 76 games in all competitions for the Yellow Submarine.

Alcacer has suffered several muscle injuries for last season’s Champions League semi-finalists and struggled to establish himself in Unai Emery’s team.
