Inter Milan have officially announced the loan transfer of Tajon Buchanan to Villarreal. The 25-year-old Canadian winger will join the Spanish club on a temporary loan until the end of the 2024-25 season, with Villarreal holding an option to make the transfer permanent.
Buchanan arrived at Inter with high expectations following his impressive performances for Club Brugge and the Canadian national team. However, he struggled to secure regular playing time under Simone Inzaghi’s management due to strong competition in the wide positions and some fitness issues that limited his involvement.
The decision to loan out Buchanan stems from Inter’s desire to provide him with more playing time and help him regain consistency in a competitive league like LaLiga. Villarreal, in need of reinforcements on the flanks for the second half of the season, presents an ideal opportunity for Buchanan to showcase his abilities in a new environment.
If the Canadian international manages to impress during his loan spell, Villarreal may choose to exercise their option to buy, potentially securing a long-term solution for the player’s future. This move allows Buchanan to gain valuable experience and potentially reignite his career in one of Europe’s top leagues.
