Málaga speeds up its movements in the market to gradually shape the squad. One of the lines that will undergo the most changes is the defense. The intention of the sports management is to almost completely renew the rear and therefore Work is being done on the arrival of reinforcements for the four rearguard positions. Thus, they look for laterals and between two and three central.
A revolution aimed at achieving a defensive reliability that Malaga has lacked throughout the season. On the right side, Víctor Gómez will return to Espanyol and Iván Calero will return after his transfer to Alcorcón. Ismael Casas also has a contract, but there are many options for the youth squad to go out on loan in search of the minutes and continuity that have eluded him in recent seasons.
In the axis of the defense are Juande and Peybernes, with whom the club does not count. Guede has already made it clear that Andrés Caro is part of his plans and will have a leading role, so work is being done on the incorporation of two or three power plants. Málaga has received 57 goals and has been one of the teams with the most goals in the category this season. Only Mirandés (62), Ibiza (59) and the four relegated have conceded more.
As for the left side, Cufré ends his assignment and will not continue. Javi Jiménez does enter the plans of the coaching staff and sports management. Málaga is very attentive to the options that may be on the market, although without losing sight of youth squad Víctor Olmowhich has ended up playing the last games of the season when permanence was still at stake.
The defense, therefore, will also undergo a revolution this coming season at Malaga. The rear will change almost completely and will be, along with the front, the line that will record the most news this summer. There may be up to five incorporations in the Blue and White rearguard before next September.
