Alcoyano began a sale process after interest from two funds seeking to take over the majority stake and control of the club, according to sources close to SAD’s board.
Sources consulted by EFE confirmed that one fund is domestic and the other international. The club was contacted to initiate a buyout offer. Board insiders explained that the club is in the process of compiling figures and assessing the proposals. (Source: EFE)
The same sources stressed that Alcoyano’s viability in the First RFEF hinges on the cash flow necessary to secure the club’s economic future. The club is viewed as attractive within a compelling category and is believed to hold potential for a strong project at the national level. (Source: internal discussions)

José Juan terminates his contract and will end his career at Torrellano. The goalkeeper, who turns 43 in December, will finish his sports career in Torrellano, a team competing in Tercera RFEF.

He thanked his teammates, the technical staff, and Deportivo fans, wishing success ahead.

The current view is that timely action can strengthen the club and enable a solid project that delivers long-term dreams. The organization believes a prudent choice will secure the institution’s future. (Source: strategic review)
