As announced on the club's official Twitter account, defender Soufiane Chakla signed with Belgian club Oud-Heverlee Leuven.

The Moroccan international signs a three-year deal with OH, and according to sources close to the deal, Villarreal will receive 50% from a possible Chakla's future sale. The centre-back came up through Malaga's youth ranks, and spent last season on loan with Getafe, where he made 11 appearances. He could only muster 3 total caps with Villarreal's senior side however, so maybe a move was best for him and the club.

He's also made 2 appearances with the Moroccan national team, starting in 2021, and could be one of the players who gets called up for next year's AFCON tournament, if he does well in Belgium.
