Málaga: casting of Manolo Gaspar and classic match against Granada

A little more salary limit. Manolo Gaspar, Málaga's sports director, is repeating last season's liturgy to build a competitive squad. The salary limit, which last season was 2,963 million euros, will grow by just over a million according to Diario Sur. This may allow a little more margin, but with all the appearance that this cost-squad scale will once again be the scarcest in professional football. Of course, more than one team will have to put a tremendous scissors. And Malaga has already passed that way.

Cádiz slopes. The Yellow Submarine needs to get rid of players, especially those who returned from loan. Many of them are interesting for Málaga. It was the case of Álvaro Giménez, an option not taken into account due to the height of his file. Caye Quintana and Matos left a good taste in the mouth. There are other players like midfielder Sergio González. See what happens. There is still little movement. However, it is more than likely that a player from Cádiz will come to the Rosaleda. Relations between the two clubs are excellent.

From youth players to professionals. We have read in Málaga Hoy that the club intends to make Ismael Casas and Ramón Enríquez a professional record. It is a very interesting option because, being regulars in the initial line-ups, they would free up a place for subsidiaries.

Looking for forwards. The casting of Manolo Gaspar looking for players who adapt to the profile and reality of the club is being very wide. He cannot go with the money ahead because Malaga cannot enter the ‘checkbook war’. So plan B is imagination, selling the Malaga brand with all its appeal and patience. The Rosalerda club does not have much money, it is true … but it is not the only one.

And about Yanis Rahmani. Convincing the French-Algerian to repeat the experience on the Costa del Sol would give much more than the first stone to this new project. He is a player who inspires and who has identified with the club. The bad thing for Malaga is that they want it half Second. He has a contract with Almería until June 30, 2022. Málaga is not badly placed in this race.

Friendlies against Granada and Sevilla Atlético Málaga is completing aspects of its preseason. On July 24 he will play against Sevilla Atlético, the Sevilla subsidiary, at 7:00 p.m. in the Campos de la Federación Malagueña. He has also confirmed another meeting that is already a classic. It will be on August 6 against Granada at the New Los Cármenes at 8:30 p.m. at the Ciudad de Granada Tournament. These two games join the one already announced against Velez on July 21.

BlueBay, Al Thani… At the same time, we must be aware of the institutional aspect of the club after the justice system agreed with the hotel company BlueBay, which already owns 49% of Al Thani shares (47% of the club's). There must be news.
