VillarrealGoal in final appearance
Parejo scored one goal on one shot in Sunday's 5-1 win over Atletico Madrid.
Analysis: Parejo is likely to end his time with Villarreal after the 2025/26 season and ended it in a good way, as the midfielder scored the opener in the 30th minute from the penalty spot. He then wraps up the season with only the one goal standing as his lone goal contribution this campaign, earning it in 32 appearances (16 starts). The veteran's career is now in limbo, as he may find a new club, but at the age of 37, retirement is also an option.
Set to leave Villarreal
Parejo will leave Villarreal at the end of the season after six years with the club, according to the club.
Analysis: Parejo made 269 appearances for the Yellow Submarine, scoring 16 goals and establishing himself as one of the ninth-highest appearance makers in Villarreal's history and the fifth-most prolific La Liga appearance maker of all time. During his six seasons at the Estadio de la Ceramica, Parejo won the UEFA Europa League in 2021, reached the Champions League semifinals in 2022 and helped the club secure three Champions League qualifications. The club will pay tribute to Parejo at Sunday's final La Liga fixture against Atletico de Madrid, which will also serve as the celebration with the fans following their Champions League qualification this season. Villarreal expressed deep gratitude for his dedication and commitment throughout what has been a defining chapter for the club, wishing him every success in the next step of his professional career.
