Fran Villalba signs for Málaga CF
//
Promoesport's Fran Villalba arrives to the Costa del Sol on loan for the 22/23 season. Villalba was formed in the youth ranks of Valencia, played with the reserve team at just 16 years old and made his debut with the first team at 17.
His versatility to fill attacking positions, vision and ability to move between lines, caught the attention of Birmingham City, who signed him in August 2019. The three loan spells he has accumulated in LaLiga Smartbank have allowed him to demonstrate the level he possesses.
He has defended the colors of Numancia, Almería and Real Sporting, always exceeding 30 games per season and being an indisputable part of the starting eleven. Now he will wear the Malaga CF jersey to try to return the Andalusians to the highest category of Spanish football.
