Despite being on vacation, Míchel Sánchez’s third project has already begun. The coach from Madrid, who will be the one who has directed the most matches First al Girona when the starting shot is given to the new season a Anoeta (now tied with Pablo Machin i Eusebio Sacristan, with 38 games each), has built a good structure of players to face the challenge of continuing in the elite two seasons in a row, a milestone that has never been achieved in Montilivi. Left behind in the month of June, the white-and-red set has twenty players from the first team, to which we must add the six youngsters on loan who are returning, despite the fact that they will leave again. Some, however, are clear candidates to do the pre-season under Míchel’s orders.
With many moves still to be made, and with more than one operation that will close this week, the last without activity, because Girona returns to work on Monday, July 10, quique jail and his team in the offices are aware that it will all start to really kick in in a few weeks, as it always does with the famous domino effect. In the meantime, he does not arrive, the white-and-red sports management must think carefully if he waits for the first options or if, distressed by time and financial possibilities, he opts for a plan B.
The first operations will not make you wait, since Daley Blind will be announced soon (possibly Monday), work is being done on the signing ofivan martin and the link with Paulo Gazzaniga was already made official. The exits also have their place, because Ramon Terrats is a new footballer of the Real Villageafter they made effective the clause of 2.5 million euros and Borja Garcia he is a new free agent, although there are talks with the Madrid player to continue at Montilivi. The serial Oriol Romeu, with Barça as a candidate to take him, also occupies covers; but Girona wants to be a tough negotiator and will demand the termination clause. At the moment, there is no official offer, but the Barcelona club has contacted the midfielderUlldecona.
Three operations underway
As of July 2, Girona’s current squad, including young players returning from loan, is as follows:
PORTERS
It is the place where there is less room for operations: Gazzaniga, fixed for Míchel, is the first ‘new face’ of the 2023-24 course, and has committed himself until 2025; Juan Carlos has renewed until 2024 and Toni Fuidias, in principle, will continue as third goalkeeper.
DEFENSES
Right now, there is overbooking on the central axis. santi good, who will not be able to start the League due to his injury; David López, Bernardo, Juanpe and Callens, who are looking for an exit, have a contract. It’s also coming back Monjonell and you have to count on the arrival of Blind, who can occupy several positions. It is not ruled out that a fast center will arrive (Bartra not a real option right now). There is work to be done on the sides, because they only have Arnau Martínez (who can leave if a good offer arrives), Miguel Gutierrez (the same, but it seems complicated to happen) and Valery (the wildcard who can act in different positions, also in the offensive phase of the team). A couple of pieces should arrive here, not counting possible transfers.
MIDFIELDERS
Here comes the interesting part, because from midfield forward it’s almost all there is to do. And if Oriol Romeu leaves, the bottom line will be even bigger. The only good news is the recent renewal of Aleix Garcia until 2026; the rest is a lot: a Toni Villa he was diagnosed with 10 to 12 months of sick leave in April; Artero will not start the League either; and the state ofIbrahima Kebe it’s an unknown, after a year without competing. Right now, the club needs to invest boldly in several positions. We are talking with Borja García to continue and the return of Iván Martín is also feasible, because there are advanced talks with Villarreal and Míchel wants him. From there, repeating the assignment of Rodrigo Riquelme is the great desire and Angel Herrera could live a second chapter in Montilivi.
A separate case is the role that Manchester City can play with transfers, especially in this area of the field, because beyond the Venezuelan there are some interesting names such as the Argentine Maximo Perrone.
On the table must be added the real interest of Girona in acquiring the services of Sergio Arrives (Real Madrid Castile). Of the young people who return from loan (Alex Sala, Arnau Ortiz o Ilyas), none should continue.
FRONT
Cristhian Stuani and the return of Manu Vallejo after its transfer toOviedo they are the goalscorers that Míchel Sánchez will have at the start of the pre-season. The Uruguayan, legend of the club, will once again be a luxury substitute; because the sports management has in mind to incorporate a starting striker (Sergio Camello I like it very much) to take the place left by Taty Castellanos. Vallejo, on the other hand, is not in the plans of the Madrid coach, who already let him go in the middle of last season.
On the wings, Girona got it right with the Ukrainian Viktor Tsygankov, which is not expected (nor is it ruled out, because nothing is ruled out anymore) to move from Montilivi. Pieces like Joel Roca can play an important role in the summer, as his talent generates a positive consensus in the coaching staff. Roca, however, could leave on loan in search of minutes.
Urena or Hi Victor nor are they part of the squad planning that Girona has in mind to face the new challenge of remaining in the First Division. For this reason, relevant reinforcements are expected in these demarcations, where it will be key to get it right.
SIDEWALK
The big difference compared to the last experience repeating a season in the elite lies in the bench, where Míchel Sánchez will continue as the undisputed leader. That time, Eusebio replaced Machín and everyone knows how it ended. It’s no guarantee, but the foundations are already laid.
The difference in categories forces the minors of the subsidiary to find a life away from the first team
That he Girona B compete at Third RFEF it does nothing to help the development of footballers whose category is too small for them, but at the same time they are not ready to compete in the First Division. Because the jump is so big, most have to make a living away from the first team. Right now, just Ricardo Artero i Joel Rock they might have some consideration, but what they need is minutes ia Montilivi no one guarantees them and it is not good for either side to spend the year training but competing less than expected. Far from Girona, however, mostly the dwarfs in the plant have responded: Monjonell al Lommel Belgian, Urena al Cartagena, Alex Sala i Hi Victor al Sabadell, Arnau Ortiz al Murcia i Ilyas al San Fernando. Precisely, he also played there Gabriel Martinez, who has already closed his transfer to professional football. Specifically, in Mirandésfrom Second Division. All of them will have to look outside the home again if they want to continue growing.
