Girona FC has officially commenced preparations for the 2026-27 season, with the squad reporting to the Ciutat Esportiva de la Massana for medical examinations ahead of the first training session under new coach Quique Álvarez. As the club integrates new signings, reports indicate that midfielder Iván Morante is nearing a move to the Catalan side as a free agent following the conclusion of his contract with Burgos.
Pre-season Underway at Ciutat Esportiva de la Massana
The 2026-27 campaign begins in earnest this week at the club’s training facility. While the majority of the squad is present for the start of the program, two notable absences remain due to extended commitments. Tsygankov has been granted an extended break following his late finish to the previous season, while Ounahi is currently unavailable due to his participation in the World Cup.
The first training sessions under Quique Álvarez, who takes over the managerial reins this season, will focus on establishing tactical cohesion. Álvarez inherits a squad that is currently undergoing a period of transition, with the coaching staff prioritizing physical conditioning during these initial days at La Massana.
Iván Morante Poised to Become Third Summer Signing
While the club has officially confirmed the arrivals of Pyschur from Gyor and Izan González from Granada, the recruitment department is finalizing a third addition. Iván Morante, a 25-year-old left midfielder, is the primary target to bolster the middle of the park.
Morante enters the negotiations as a free agent after his contract with Burgos expired. Negotiations are described as being in an advanced stage, with the player expected to integrate into the squad shortly if the deal is finalized as anticipated.
