Villarreal coach Unai Emery admits they could lose Juan Foyth this month.

The Argentina defender's agent is in talks with Barcelona this week.

Emery said this morning: "It is not affecting us. The market closes on August 31 and it does not make much sense, although those who make the decisions will see some sense. In England they wanted to change the date, but in the end it was detrimental to the English market.

"The logical thing would be close at the beginning of August. Juan Foyth is not going to be here tomorrow because he has discomfort. What can affect us is that there may be unwanted exit movements. What harms the most is something unforeseen, such as a significant clause payment or the player considers an offer very attractive.

"About these latest rumours that have come out for Yeremy and Foyth we are testing how the players can be. Foyth is very happy here, grateful to the club and to what he is experiencing here with us. He gives me a lot of peace of mind.

"You have to know what the club thinks, which we know, and the player, which we already know. What Barcelona thinks I don't know."
