There remains a substantial amount of work before the upcoming Sunday to finish the agenda, more pressing than when it was released two months ago. Eldense currently lists 22 players with professional registrations, and there are 3 vacancies to fill the challenge. The club operates under the 25P license framework, and LaLiga continues to enforce the rules. The salary cap set by the club is around three million euros, though this figure has not been officially confirmed.
Two domestic goalkeepers are eligible to play but are registered with the second team. Quirant and Pina, midfielder Arnau Ortiz, and the last player Eddie Salcedo have all completed the required registration processes to be available for La Romareda under Fernando Estevez. The manager Desires to integrate them as needed.
Barça’s scouting department continues to evaluate options, aiming to reinforce the defense with a reliable stopper to support the spine, since only three specialists have been confirmed so far: Pina, Carlos Hernandez, and Dumic. The technical staff values versatility, with Pedro Capó and Youness working to cover potential gaps. However, neither is fully comfortable delaying positions because the defense demands precise automatisms and a solid foundation.

Free remains for Eldense to complete the 25 licensed places allowed
► It has 22 professional slots filled. The four under-23 players on the roster, specifically goalkeepers Pina and Quirant, plus Arnau Ortiz and Eddie Salcedo, are not counted among the 25 P licenses.
The social audience remains around 7,500 subscribers, with close to 4,500 currently active. Because broadcast rights yield lower returns in this setup, Eldense must target players with a very specific profile, which slows midseason movement.
The central defense is the only area where Deportivo can field a light performance. The tactical option to double positions exists, but there is ample room for maneuver in other zones, especially in midfield where as many as six players compete weekly for the two roles they currently occupy, including David Timor and Sergio Ortuno.
In the forward line there are four players who have so far held a clear spot, yet have struggled to become one of Estevezs two primary references. There is renewed emphasis on strengthening with Inter Milan’s youth presence. Juanto Ortuno and Florin Andone have emerged as key contributors, scoring once apiece in a recent victory over Eibar. The market window closes at 23 59 59, but there is still time to act.
