Elche’s squad and coaching staff went on holiday After the match against Mirandés. Now it is the turn of the team’s owner, Christian Bragarnik, and the sports commission, consisting of Sergio Mantecón, Mauro Óbolo and Antonio Barragán.
The largest shareholder promised to sign 3 to 4 signatures Winter market to open on January 2In order to strengthen the team for the second round of the competition and fight for promotion.
Most urgent needs
The main purposes are: extreme that he can play on both wings, but mostly on the right; And one forward. They are also looking for defenders and midfielders. Óscar Plano’s serious injury could open the door to the player’s arrival a second offensive lineman or quarterback.
Elche club has two free chips – He keeps 23 men from the first team busy – and if necessary, could also replace Óscar Plano, who must be out of action for at least six months.
there is money
The Franjiverde organization has a salary limit available. Of the approximately 24 million players LaLiga allowed in the summer, Spent just over 15. Additionally, players who do not attach much importance to Beccacece and want to enjoy more minutes can also leave the team. These are mainly The cases of Lautaro Blanco and Raúl Guti.
The sports commission has not stopped working in recent months to look at players for this winter market. Bragarnik will have the final say Elche’s owner, on the other hand, prefers young players with hunger and foresight, who do not have very high chips.
first reinforcement
As this newspaper explained, one of the most popular claims for the wing position, which Beccacece confirmed last Monday, was as follows: Miguel Gutiérrez of Celta. The 20-year-old young player, who stood out in the reserve team of the Vigo club and moved to the A team this season, cannot benefit from the many opportunities offered by Rafa Benítez.
Play He is a right winger but can also play on the left wing as a midfielder.. This season, he played only 64 minutes in seven matches in the EA Sports First Division League and 137 minutes in two Cups.
He took part at international level in the lower categories of the Spanish team. and there are many suitors, some from the First League and other foreign teams. Elche can promise him minutes so that he does not stagnate and continue his progress.
Other names for extremism
Other extremes on Elche’s shopping list are: José Arnáiz from OsasunaAccording to Cazurreando.com, however, this is a complicated option. He usually plays more on the left wing, but can also play on the right wing with a change of legs. It is difficult for him to leave Osasuna, where he came on a free transfer this season after his contract with Leganés expired.
He is 28 years old and doesn’t play much with RojilloHowever, he played 308 minutes in 11 league matches and scored one goal. In addition to the 24 minutes he spent in the Cup, he found a place in the First League at the age of 28 and it seems difficult for him to leave here.
The other wing players coached by the Elche club are the 23-year-old Argentinian player from Betis Juan Cruz.He was linked with Elche last summer, but sources from the Betic club assured there was no contact. His target appears to be Tenerife.
And lately his name Alberto Perea from Granada. He’s barely playing yet, and at 33 years old, it seems difficult for Bragarnik to bet on him.
attackers
For the front part, Jon Karrikaburu remains on the table. He wanted to try his luck in Primera and therefore rejected the offer of the Franjiverde organization last August. He has too many rivals in Alavés and played just 14 minutes in two League matches and two Cup matches, starting and scoring three goals.
One of the most desired attackers of the leading Second League teams. Real Sociedad, which has a contract until 2026, does not want this situation to stagnate and the negative reaction of the summer to change in January. At the age of 21, he meets the desired profile.
Options
Other strikers who are popular in Martínez Valero’s royal court are as follows: Andorran Manu Nieto. The problem with the 25-year-old former Eldense player is that he is under contract and has to pay a significant transfer fee. He’s not someone who could be in the top five with the Andorrans. but he stayed on the field for 860 minutes in 20 matches and scored four goals. So this is an almost negligible alternative because Andorra, playing for permanence, won’t let him go.
Something similar happened to Randy Nteka. Elche already wanted to extend his loan, but the Frenchman wanted to continue in the First League. He played 356 minutes in seven matches for Rayo this season.
Defense
Bragarnik wants to try re-signing to strengthen defense Federico Gattoni, who can accurately perform the centre-back functions performed by Mario Gaspar. Argentina, who played only nine minutes in the league and cup matches, also linked 30-year-old defender Lautaro Gianetti de Vélez to Elche.
And names for the center of the field Federico Redondo, son of former Real Madrid player Fernando Redondo. He is 20 years old and is represented by the agent of Elche’s largest shareholder.
Another football player with links to Elche Arnau Puigmal from Almeria. He is 22 years old and has played in 10 League games (241 minutes) and the Cup.
