Very interesting week for Málaga with several open fronts. On the one hand, the arrival of Alberto Escassi, the Malaga central of Numancia, has been agreed, but it cannot be taken for granted or announced for the reason that the player himself explained in a recent interview for As and that for his interest we reproduce these words literally. “We do not know the future of each one. We do not know how the market evolves. If we sign now, which seems to be free, we make a mistake. The president sent each of the players an email informing us of the current situation and that we should be careful to sign with a team because today we are not free players and we belong to Numancia. That is the complexity of this situation. We have to be careful, I have it very present with my agent and I talk about it. I don't want to have any kind of problems and in my case I don't want to sign anything until the relegation is made official because otherwise I would continue to be a Numancia player ”. It is a situation attached to that of the goalkeeper of the same team Dani Barrio, who negotiates with the Malaguistas.
Another topic is Keidi Bare. Some details remain to make his transfer to Espanyol official for an amount close to 2.5 million euros to compensate that 20% that Atlético de Madrid has as a percentage. The announcement of Vicente Moreno as a new parakeet technician is the first stone so that this operation can finally be closed in a satisfactory way. Other intended players are Caye Quintana, who returns to Cádiz after ending a loan with Fuenlabrada and Dioni, Malaga striker from Cultural.
On the other hand, several Málaga players already know that they will have to lower their salary because the judicial administrator understands that the numbers do not add up. They would be those who have the highest chips and that the club cannot assume. Except Luis Hernández, who renewed until 2024 with an already considerable salary reduction, Juanpi, Adrián, Juankar and Esteban Rolón have a contract until 2021. They will not be simple negotiations. The case of Manu Cecchini is different because he will continue on loan at Unión de Santa Fe all this season.
Munir Theme. Malaga will listen to offers for the Moroccan international who is closely followed by Granada, Leganés and Espanyol, among others.
Second friendly against Granada
On the other hand, it is already known who will be Malaga's second rival in this strange preseason that is coming. It will be Granada on the 30th, probably in Marbella. Málaga will start next Wednesday the 12th with the rigorous medical tests.
