Madrid midfielder Sergio Bermejo has completed Elche’s winter transfer business, becoming the club’s sixth signing of the market window. The official statement issued after 12:15 PM described the move as adding talent and versatility to the Franjiverde midfield. The message highlighted a footballer famed for technical skill, sharp game vision, and the capacity to carry play and finish chances. The signings are presented as a strategic step to strengthen the squad and support the ongoing growth of Elche CFs project in the top flight.
26 years
Sergio Bermejo Lillo, born August 17, 1997 in Madrid, is identified by the club as a player with substantial experience in Spanish footballs second tier. The career path traces through the Getafe CF reserve system and CD Navalcarnero before a move to RC Celta de Vigo B, a step that allowed him to establish himself and eventually debut for Celta at the highest level of Spanish football. In recent seasons he has appeared in more than 120 league matches with Real Zaragoza, where he built a reputation as one of the standout performers in his tier. His proven track record speaks to a consistent level of impact across multiple campaigns and competitive environments, underscoring why Elche viewed him as a meaningful addition to the midfield options available to the coaching staff.
Elche CF frames Bermejo as a player who arrives with the dedication and work ethic needed to integrate smoothly with the group led by manager Sebastián Beccacece. The club stresses his game intelligence, his willingness to push boundaries in forward play, and his creative instincts that can unlock compact defenses and generate meaningful opportunities. The club’s communications emphasize that Bermejo will complement the existing identity of the Franjiverde, contributing not only with technical quality but also with a certain tenacity that broadens the teams possibilities on different fronts. The message closes with a warm welcome, inviting supporters to embrace the new chapter and watch how his presence can influence the teams progression over the coming fixtures.
Guti to Zaragoza
In a separate development, and just ahead of the closing stages of the transfer window, Elche announced that Raúl Guti has been loaned to Real Zaragoza through the end of the season. The loan move is presented as a practical step to ensure playing time and development for the young midfielder while Zaragoza benefits from his technical attributes and versatility in the midfield and attacking transitions. The arrangement reflects Elche’s broader strategy to optimize squad dynamics during a demanding stretch of league fixtures, balancing immediate needs with long term player development goals. Fans are encouraged to monitor how Guti will adapt to the new system and what impact his experience may bring to Zaragoza’s creative process.
