There is a potential logic to this.
Europa League qualification is worth money to Villarreal. So if there is a secret deal, it could be to keep MM until they qualify for Europe and then sell him quickly after the trip to Kazakhstan. In this hypothesis, the European game is more important than the La Liga one.
Most of the ITK suggested Villarreal were holding out for more money, and this is a way that they could potentially get some more cash in. Pure speculation of course.
Love the optimism.
