VillarrealExtends contract through 2031
Navarro signed a contract extension with Villarreal through June 2031, the club announced.
Analysis: Navarro has established himself as a key piece of Villarreal's backline, making 46 official appearances for the first team and consolidating a starting role during last season's strong finish that helped the club secure third place in LaLiga. The 21-year-old defender joined the club's academy at age eight and has spent twelve seasons progressing through the youth ranks before breaking into the first team.
