Malaga will try to close its squad in a final stretch of the transfer market that is predicted to be exciting and with many surprises. The deadline for entries and exits is the next 31 of the currents.
After announcing the signing of Sekou Gassama, who arrives on loan from Valladolid with a purchase option, Málaga is in the final stretch in its readjustment plan. Manolo Gaspar, the club's sporting director, hopes to put the icing on his cake with one more addition, probably another striker. He also seeks to release two or three players from the current squad.
After the “no signing” of Ontiveros (who finally opted for Osasuna's offer) Manolo Gaspar has not lost his cool. Keep looking for that attacker, but there's not so much urgencyto. The aforementioned arrival of Sekou, the good feelings of the homegrown players Kevin and Roberto, the strength of Haitam, the recovery of Hicham and the expected and increasingly close reappearance of Pablo Chavarría give a margin of tranquility to the sports management.
But the departures chapter is more tricky. The team has surplus space in the right back position. There are Víctor Gómez, Alexander, Ismael Casas, Iván Calero, Ale Benítez and Bilal. Six good lanes. Malaga has tried to find a way out for Alexander, but no offers have been made for the Venezuelan, who ends his contract in June 2022. It is not ruled out that a termination agreement could be reached.
Ismael Casas. We take up the words of José Alberto at the press conference last Friday prior to the match against Alcorcón. “Each one knows their personal situation internally. A young player has to have minutes. It is part of your training process. If you don't have minutes there will be a deadlock. From there each one has to decide. We are going to help him in what we can from the utmost sincerity to improve. “This is the situation. The player does not seem very much for the work of going on loan. In his favor, in addition to being an excellent right-back, he can also play as a centerl.
Benkhemassa, another without a record
Another player on the starting ramp is Algerian midfielder Mohamed Benkhemassa. Like Alexander, he is not registered in LaLiga and a way out is also being sought for him. The option that he could go to the Zamalek in Egypt was recently published in the Algerian media. The definitive step has not yet been taken and it is not ruled out that a contractual separation can be negotiated.
