Villarreal are favourites to sign Real Betis defender Aissa Mandi.

Off contract in June, Mandi has attracted interest from across Europe, including from Liverpool and Lyon.

Foot Mercato says Lyon have held talks with Mandi, but have learned he is committed to joining Villarreal this summer.

It's suggested Villarreal and Mandi have settled terms on a four-year contract.

At Betis, there's been an acceptance Mandi would be moving on since January.
