the intrastory of an unexpected symbiosis

GironaTenerife South Airport, morning of June 20. It was only a few hours ago that Girona was a new team in the First Division. A high official of the entity reviewed the whatsapps. He answered some of them, between hugs and hugs, but it was impossible to answer everyone. The list was too long. Among those there, one was signed by someone important from the Santiago Bernabéu box office. “They will say what they want about Madrid, but it is a gentleman’s club. It was one of the clubs that treated us the best when we were in Primera and now it has been one of the first to congratulate us. That’s how it feels,” he said.

The good relationship between both clubs has expanded this summer to levels that almost no one believed were possible. Well, maybe the one who sensed it is Quique Cárcel. Girona is a good place to hang out and in clubs like Madrid, places are expensive. It is a win-win manual: Miguel Gutiérrez and Reinier Jesus are the two footballers who have landed in Catalonia directly from Chamartín and 50% of the rights of Javi Hernández, who arrived from Leganés, belong to the White House. All three are available for Celta’s visit this Friday (8pm, DAZN LaLiga) to Montilivi.

Each case has its own characteristics, but the feeling is that Girona has tied good contracts with formulas that prevent it from drowning financially. As for Gutiérrez, a 21-year-old left back, he will own it until 2027 and has invested 4 million euros for half of his rights. It is considered one of the pearls of Madrid’s quarry and the fourth highest investment ever made by Girona throughout its history. For Hernández, half a million has been paid plus the possible variables for a single-season loan. With Leganés, the pact arrived soon; with Madrid, it cost a little more.

Reinier’s assignment has a single protagonist: Cárcel, a lover since he traveled to Brazil and saw him live. The architect of the two promotions is convinced that he can exploit and teach virtues that made it possible for Madrid to pay 30 million euros. And how is it that with this price, and the corresponding salary, he can end up in Montilivi? Well, because, as ARA has learned, Madrid takes charge of practically the entirety of the card. This is one of the keys for the negotiation to go ahead, since the Brazilian’s box is completely out of Girona’s reach, unless someone puts their part in it. Madrid has done it, because it can pay wages right and wrong. has the fair play sanitized

The white club can also get their hands on Torres de Palau, because this summer they have taken two of the best promises from the Girona base: Erik Vázquez for Juvenil C and Alejandro Hernández for Cadet B. “There is no negotiation here, they are screwing us”, they comment from Girona. The son of Míchel Sánchez has gone the other way, but unfortunately he suffered a cruciate injury and will be out of action for a long time.

The role of Barça and Espanyol

The fact that Madrid can assume most of the salary is a facility that, without going any further, Barça has not put into practice. Because despite the fact that Cárcel wanted to do business at Camp Nou and the talks have been constant, reality indicates that no operation has been closed. Who really wants Girona is Ez Abde. According to sources consulted, Barça informed Girona that if the footballer were to leave on loan, he would go to Montilivi. But the irruption of teams like Valencia, who have greatly raised economic expectations, and the unknown that exists regarding the future of the other strikers (if Aubameyang or Memphis leave, Abde may have a place in the dressing room) have stopped everything.

With Espanyol, on the other hand, Madrid no longer makes deals. The good relationship that existed in the stages of Perarnau and Lardín made possible the operations of footballers such as Casilla, Lucas Vázquez, Asensio or Hermoso. Now, with Catoira, the shots are going towards another kind of markets; although the current 4 forwards (RDT, Joselu, Lazo and Dani Gómez) have all trained at Valdebebas. Football stuff.
