Elche CF hosted a straightforward press briefing on Wednesday, unveiling eleven commemorative items created to honor the club’s Centennial milestone. In the room with journalists and supporters, club leaders reiterated that there are no immediate plans to bring in a Colombian international during the current summer window. Attention remained on Johan Mojica, a player whose performances have kept him on the radar of several European teams and who is widely discussed in transfer circles for his dependable left-side versatility and solidity.
Elche, through its ownership, signaled months ago a willingness to assess a potential contract extension for Mojica if the player’s value to the squad aligns with the club’s long-term plans. The discussions surfaced a cautious, strategic approach to squad building, prioritizing stability and sustainable growth over rapid, market-driven moves. Any decision will hinge on practical factors such as budget, on-pitch fit, and Mojica’s interest in remaining with the project beyond the near term.
“We are looking for ways for Mojica to stay with us, and at this stage there are no commitments to alter our transfer strategy in this area,” the president stated, underscoring a preference for continuity while leaving room for a future opportunity. The leadership stressed that tactical needs and future ambitions could influence the situation, but there is no intention to rush or overspend during this window.
“And yet, the possibility cannot be ruled out entirely,” he added, reflecting on Mojica’s recent form and the positive impact he has had on the squad. The discussion also touched on broader market dynamics and how a renewal could affect the club’s wage structure and overall compensation framework for the season ahead. The presidency highlighted that any decisions will be taken within a balanced, year-round strategy rather than reacting to short-term market swings.
The club’s leadership did not speculate on an imminent signing, noting that termination clause considerations and the player’s contractual timeline must be weighed with care. In a broader sense, the conversation reflected Elche’s commitment to a steady, sustainable model that prioritizes on-field performance, player development, and prudent finances. The dialogue also acknowledged Mojica’s value as a pillar of the squad and his potential to contribute to the club’s ambitions in the coming seasons, provided alignment of interests persists.
Fans left the briefing with a clear sense of direction: while dialogue with Mojica and his representatives remains open, Elche’s path toward consolidation and growth will continue to emphasize careful planning, continuity, and a grounded view of the market. Leadership reaffirmed the intent to pursue prudent reinforcements only when they fit the strategic blueprint, ensuring the squad stays competitive without sacrificing long-term stability. This measured stance reinforces Elche’s reputation as a club that prioritizes steady growth, responsible spending, and stable governance [Elche press conference notes].
