Iván Villar Martínez (born 9 July 1997) is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a goalkeeper for La Liga club Celta.
Villar was born in Aldán, Pontevedra, Galicia, and joined RC Celta de Vigo's youth setup in 2008, from Rápido Bahía CF. [3] On 13 October 2013, he made his senior debut with the reserves at the age of just 16, starting in a 1–0 Segunda División B home win against Cultural y Deportiva Leonesa. [4]
On 4 September 2014, Villar extended his contract until 2019, [5] but only featured regularly for the B side during the 2015–16 season. On 14 May 2017, he made his first-team – and La Liga – debut, starting in the 3–1 away loss to Deportivo Alavés. [6]
In July 2017, Villar was definitely promoted to the main squad after refusing to play with the second team. [7] The following 25 January, he extended his contract until 2023 and was immediately loaned to fellow top-division club Levante UD for six months. [8] [9]
At the start of the 2020–21 campaign, Villar was first choice under manager Óscar García, by virtue of being Celta's only fit goalkeeper. [10] On 11 August 2021, he was loaned to Segunda División side CD Leganés for one year. [11]
Villar began 2022–23 as backup to Agustín Marchesín, newly arrived from FC Porto. However, after the Argentine suffered a serious injury in February, he became the starter. [12] [13]
