The Portugal international could make the move to Spain after his manager Mikel Arteta received criticism for picking him against PSV Eindhoven in midweek.<\/p>\n<p>Cedric has fallen down the pecking order at Arsenal in the last couple of years. He has made just two appearances this season, with Ben White and Takehiro Tomiyasu preferred in his position.<\/p>\n<p>The 32-year-old spent the second half of last term on loan at London rivals Fulham. However, he made just six Premier League appearances for the Cottagers, four as a substitute.<\/p>\n<p>Cedric&#8217;s contract at Arsenal expires at the end of this season. But there is a chance he will not see out the final six months of his deal.<\/p>\n<p> <strong> Read more&#8230; <\/strong> <strong>Jim Ratcliffe is plotting a Man Utd U-turn that would leave Sheikh Jassim fuming<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/dynamic\/67\/590x\/secondary\/Arsenal-transfer-news-Cedric-Soares-Villarreal-5116083.jpg?r=1702577141968\"><\/p>\n<p>ESPN claims that Villarreal want to sign Cedric next month. The La Liga side have shown an interest in the former Southampton star since the summer.<\/p>\n<p>Arsenal are said to be willing to listen to offers for Cedric but it is currently not clear whether they would entertain a loan offer or only sanction a permanent exit. There is also interest from unnamed clubs in Turkey.<\/p>\n<p>Cedric may have played his final game for Arsenal if he does leave next month. He was a surprise starter in the dead-rubber Champions League tie at PSV on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>Arteta opted against giving academy star Reuell Walters an opportunity by instead picking Cedric. Walters, 18, is yet to make his senior debut and fans were disappointed to see Cedric play despite his future being away from Arsenal.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Support fearless journalism<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Read The Daily Express online, advert free<\/li>\n<li> <svg width=\"24\" height=\"24\" viewbox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"> <g clip-path=\"url(#clip0_1078_5986)\"> <\/path> <\/path> <\/g> <defs> <clippath> <rect width=\"23.4329\" height=\"23.4329\" fill=\"white\" transform=\"translate(0 0.134262)\"><\/rect> <\/clippath> <\/defs> <\/svg> Get super-fast page loading<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn.images.express.co.uk\/img\/logo\/logo-premium-subscription.png\"><\/p>\n<p> <strong> Don&#8217;t miss&#8230; <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd board &#8216;make Erik ten Hag sack decision&#8217; with Ratcliffe waiting in wings[NEWS] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Man Utd &#8216;already in contact&#8217; for Casemiro replacement with Ratcliffe&#8217;s approval[GOSSIP] <\/strong> <br \/> <strong>Zidane has removed obstacle blocking Man Utd job as board &#8216;shortlist quartet'[REPORT] <\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Walters was one of three youngsters Arteta took to Eindhoven.
