Alberto Moleiro is making a serious case for a spot in Spain's World Cup squad this summer, and his stock is rising fast.
The Villarreal winger has been turning heads with a standout debut season at the Estadio de la Cerámica. In 33 La Liga appearances, the 22-year-old has notched 10 goals and five assists—impressive numbers for a player still finding his feet at the top level.
According to Marca, Spain's national team staff have taken notice. With Álex Baena struggling for form and Víctor Muñoz sidelined through injury, head coach Luis de la Fuente is seriously considering Moleiro as a fresh attacking option for the tournament.
Moleiro's versatility as both a winger and attacking midfielder adds depth to his appeal. For Spain, a team that has historically prized technical quality and creativity in the final third, his ability to unlock defenses could be a valuable asset on the world stage.
The final weeks of the season will be crucial. If Moleiro can maintain his current form, he could earn his first senior cap for Spain—and do it on the biggest stage of all. For Villarreal fans and neutral observers alike, it's a story worth watching closely.
