The Spaniard would have a chance to renegotiate as a free agent at the end of the loan deal.
Perez was bound for another Spanish side, Real Betis, but after losing Danjuma to Everton and Nicolas Jackson to Bournemouth this window, Villarreal pounced on the deal.
Real Betis stall Perez
Ayoze Perez was very attractive to Real Betis' manager Manuel Pellegrini who pushed for the move.
Los Verdiblancos agreed on a deal to bring Perez to Benito Villamarin, however, they needed to generate salary margins to complete the operation per LaLiga FFP laws.
The Seville-based club worked at getting Loren Moron and Diego Lainez off their books but could not pull it off quickly enough for Ayoze Perez who grew uncomfortable in his wait.
