Midfielder Gonzalo Villar has confirmed his continuity at Elche CF until 2029, expressing his great happiness with the decision and the idyllic situation he is experiencing in the city. "When I had the idea of returning home, I knew I would be happy, but I didn't know it would be so idyllic. I wish I could stay here my whole life and we could achieve our goals every year. This team deserves, at the very least, to be in the First Division," the player stated.

The footballer took the initiative to return to the city of palm trees in the winter, a decision that has proven to be very successful. "In every match, my level has increased, and I believe I have finished the season with my eight best games in the First Division. That was the idea I had in January when I called Christian to come back. When things are planned and turn out even better, the level of happiness is incredible," Villar declared on the club's social media.

The midfielder from Murcia redebuted against Real Sociedad during a difficult period for the team. It wasn't until matchday 31 that he made his first start in a key match against Valencia, where he delivered a strong performance. Since that game, Villar has not been out of the starting lineup for the rest of the season. His goal in Oviedo was decisive for their survival.

"The goal in Oviedo was very important, especially for the team because we hadn't won away from home yet. I hope many victories will come and serve to achieve the overall objective," Villar commented. "The last two weeks were totally crazy, full of nerves, calculations… The match against Getafe was a must-win, and the fans gave us an incredible reception. It's the victory where the fans had the most impact; they were tremendous all season, but that day it felt like war. On the final matchday, we did it 'Elche style,' and when we arrived at the stadium at four in the morning with four thousand people, it was unbelievable," he added.

His return was evident on the day of his presentation, at halftime of the match against Barcelona. "It was a very special day; I was very nervous when I had to go out onto the field. I felt the emotion of returning home and finally being able to play with my team in the First Division. I managed to fulfill one of my dreams," the midfielder opined. The relationship between Gonzalo Villar and Elche will continue like this until 2029.

A similar situation is developing with Víctor Chust. The Valencian defender is close to ending his loan spell on June 30, but everything indicates that the club will also seek his continuity. His good performance throughout the season, with 31 matches played, supports his stay at the Martínez Valero. His goal against Getafe was key for their survival.
