FC Andorra has finalized the permanent transfer of 20-year-old defender Jan Encuentra to Villarreal CF's reserve team ahead of next season.
The right-back from Lleida—specifically Tàrrega according to some reports—arrived at the Andorran club last summer on a free transfer from Real Betis' youth setup. After joining pre-season training with FC Andorra's first team, he moved on loan to Unionistas de Salamanca in Primera Federació. There, he featured in 22 official matches, netting two goals and registering two assists, performances that attracted attention from several clubs.
Villarreal ultimately secured his signature on a permanent deal, allowing FC Andorra to generate profit from a player acquired at no cost just a year earlier. The agreement includes a 30% sell-on clause for any future move, reflecting the club's confidence in his ongoing development.
In an official statement, FC Andorra praised Encuentra's professionalism during his time with the team and extended best wishes for his new chapter with the Villarreal filial side. President Ferran Vilaseca's outfit thus converts a youth development initiative into financial gain as it prepares for the upcoming campaign. Villarreal's reserves will compete in Primera RFEF next term.
