Malaga finalizes the loan of Antoñín

Málaga has agreed with Granada the loan of Antoñín Cortés for one season. The striker forged in the Malaguista youth academy did not fit into Robert Moreno's plans and, in fact, he was not in the Granada squad last Monday against Villarreal. His departure from Los Cármenes was mandatory.

In the conversations between both teams, the player's desire to return to La Rosaleda has been taken into account. above other possible possibilities even superior in the economic aspect. Antoñín spoke several times with the sports director, Manolo Gaspar, and told him that his only and true priority was to play under the orders of José Alberto López.

Antoñín had given up his vacation after returning from his layoffn with Rayo Vallecano, with whom he was promoted to First Division in a season in which he scored seven goals. He wanted to convince his coach. But the competitors he had in Los Cármenes, of tronío. Luis Suárez, Carlos Bacca and Jorge Molina.

Granada signed this player for 1.5 million euros (more goals) in an operation that was carried out outside the transfer market because the rojiblancos needed to cover the loss, due to a long-term injury, of Neyder Lozano. That transfer was a lifesaver for Málaga because, with that money, they were able to finish the season without risk of expulsion from the competition, ‘a la Reus’. Now he hopes at home to be able to carry out all his best football. Málaga also keeps looking for another striker to shape its squad.
