CD Lugo announced on Tuesday morning the incorporation of a central defender to, for the time being, participate in the training of the first team. This is Pol García, who at 27 can be considered a soccer globetrotter. If we review his history of transfers we will find that, after leaving the base football of Espanyol and FC Barcelona, he joined the lower categories of Juventus to begin a string of loans for the Italian B Series in teams such as Vicenza, Como, Crotone, Latina Calcio or Cremonese. After ending his contractual relationship with the Vecchia Signora, he signed in the 2018-2019 season for the Belgian Saint-Truiden and later for FC Juárez of the Mexican Liga MX. He now arrives in Lugo free, in principle to work under Rubén Albés but without a federative record, so he cannot be considered a reinforcement for the Vigo coach’s squad.
Precisely the central square has been one of the points that Albés himself pointed out in the winter market as a position to reinforce and that had no response at the closing of the incorporation window. The precarious situation in that role worsened after the serious injury of Álex Pérez, who will miss the rest of the campaign and the start of the next. The arrival of Pol García could therefore be interpreted as a way to add troops to the defensive line, although the fact that at the moment he does not have a record and the advanced stage of the competition, which barely has three months left, puts him in quarantine any prognosis that the transfer will crystallize.
It is not the first time that Lugo has had players in their training sessions who ultimately did not make it into the Albivermella first team. That’s how it was a few seasons ago, when Aarón Ñiguez worked with the albivermellos to end up signing for Málaga. This same year the player Osaze del Rosario made the preseason with Lugo, but he ended up being discarded, and even Eddy Silvestre was also training with the Lugo first team to finally end up signing for Neftchi PFK of the Azerbaijan Premier League..
