The club confirmed to its players the addition of two new pillars to the squad. One is Youness Lachhab, a dynamic midfielder who arrives from Recreativo Granada, after previously turning heads with his performances at Granada’s subsidiary team. Lachhab, 24, holds both Spanish and Moroccan nationality and is known for his balanced presence in the central areas, capable of linking defense and attack and shaping the tempo of the game.
Hailing from El Palmar, Lachhab developed through the youth ranks at Real Murcia before progressing through the academies at Almería and Granada. His time with Recreativo Granada saw him emerge as a key contributor, appearing in nearly sixty matches across the last two seasons and logging around 5,000 minutes on the pitch. He has also chipped in with a couple of goals, providing a reliable option in the midfield where structure and effort are prized. These qualities align with Eldense’s ambitions as they look to compete in the Hypermotion League, the second tier of Spanish football, and build a cohesive unit for the long season ahead.
With Lachhab’s arrival, Eldense adds depth and versatility in midfield, reinforcing a core that aims to blend work rate with technical ability. This marks the club’s sixth signing for the new campaign, signaling a clear intent to establish a competitive project in the league.
The club also announced the signing of Miguel Marí, a midfielder who brings experience from Valladolid B and several other stops in Spanish football. Marí, 26, has spent time with Intercity, where he helped the team reach the First RFEF, and has previously starred for Vitoria, Éibar, Orihuela, and Intercity. He made his top-flight debut with Éibar and has since racked up substantial minutes, including 59 appearances over the last two seasons for Intercity and nearly 4,000 minutes on the field, during which he found the back of the net four times. The new signing strengthens Eldense’s engine room with a player who knows how to influence games across different competitive levels.
In addition to player moves, Eldense unveiled the new home jersey that will be worn for their LaLiga Hypermotion campaign through the club’s social channels. The kit, produced in partnership with the renowned Danish brand Hummel, reflects a renewed visual identity and a commitment to quality across the first team, reserve squads, and youth teams in the coming seasons. The club’s leadership highlighted the importance of the long-term relationship with Hummel, emphasizing how the partnership positions Eldense among the sport’s established names and provides a platform to achieve shared objectives in national football. The team and the brand have aligned on broader branding and development goals that extend beyond the immediate season, signaling a strategic approach to growth and visibility in the league and beyond.

As the new squad begins to take shape, observers note a clear emphasis on balance, cohesion, and competitive spirit. Lachhab’s ability to read the game and Marí’s experience under pressure could combine to give Eldense a sharper midfield axis. The coaching staff and club executives remain focused on building a squad capable of sustaining momentum across the demanding schedule of the Hypermotion league, while also nurturing young talents within the club’s system. The mix of youth and experience suggests a pragmatic plan aimed at steady improvement and consistent performances on home soil and away from it as well. (Source: club communications)
