Signed, Aleix Febas Pérez, born 02/02/1996 in Lleida, is a product of Real Madrid CF academy. After establishing himself as a standout in Castilla, he transitioned to the Second Division and has become a key player in recent seasons. He has played more than 170 matches for Real Zaragoza, Albacete Balompié, Mallorca where he contributed to a promotion to the First Division, and Málaga CF, bringing a broad range of experience to the Franjiverde side.
In the official Elche statement, Febas is described as taking another step in his career by joining the Elche CF project. His game vision, ability to break lines and control of possession were highlighted as valuable attributes for the franchise. The club added a warm welcome to the squad. It is also anticipated that another reinforcement will arrive in the following hours, with a one season loan from Valencia expected to be completed soon.
Talent and projection for Fran Pérez, Elche under Beccacece
Fran Pérez is a young footballer who will turn 21 in September. He operates as a winger and is viewed as one of the most exciting assets in Spanish football at the moment. The agreement between the two parties is complete, marking Beccacece’s first signing as head coach, alongside a few more surprises that are expected to shape the season ahead.
Beccacece now has a group assembled that blends youth with experience. The midfield jewel in Febas adds a link between defense and attack with a keen sense for breaking lines and maintaining ball possession. Pérez brings pace and width, offering the team fresh attacking options and the potential to disrupt opponents with rapid transitions. The coaching staff will be keen to integrate these players into a cohesive unit that implements Beccacece’s philosophy on pressing, intelligent positioning, and collective ball movement.
As preparations continue, Elche fans will be watching closely to see how the new signings adapt to the demands of the Second Division. The objective is clear: build a competitive, attacking side capable of challenging for promotion while remaining solid at the back. With Beccacece guiding the project and a handful of fresh arrivals to sharpen the squad, the club is setting the stage for a season of ambition and growth. Future signings and tactical tweaks are expected to be announced as the campaign approaches, and supporters will be eager to see how the roster develops under the new leadership.
