Granada hopes to be able to close the signing of Álex Collado in a matter of hours. There is an agreement with Barcelona, but the fringes that prevent the officiality of the operation are related to federative issues related to the complex current situation of the Barça team.
Collado has been in the Nasrid city for about 15 days and has even been able to witness two games of what, he hopes, will be his new team against Mallorca and Atlético. He is fried to be able to integrate under the orders of Robert Moreno after a campaign where he was left without a record with the Barça first team. He had options to play for teams like Sheffield or Brugge. But it could not be. If in the next few hours Granada manages to be discharged from the federation, the player could be at the coach’s disposal, although it does not seem likely that it could be released on the next day because Granada, precisely, faces Barcelona. In the best of cases there may be a green light on Tuesday 18 of the currents against Getafe.
In addition to this possible arrival, Granada is working on the winter market to be able to incorporate a midfielder without ruling out the possibility of another forward.
Two new positives
On the other hand, as confirmed by Ideal, Soro and Germán have tested positive for COVID-19 after the match against Elche. Added problem for next Saturday’s match against the Barça team.
At the dawn of the end of the year, Granada announced four positives from professional players, one from a footballer from the subsidiary and three from the staff.
