Edgar Ié departs Villarreal B

As had been rumored earlier, Edgar Ié has left Villarreal, headed to Portugal to play for Belenenses. You may remember he came to us from Barcelona’s cantera. While he impressed me at times with our B team last season in their run to the playoffs, he didn’t impress those in charge enough to get a chance at the first team. So, he’s left, a year and a half into a three-year deal. No terms were announced but presumably his contract was rescinded by mutual consent. We wish him well.
