Malaga continues to shield the jewels of its quarry. This Thursday he announced the renewal of Julio Martínez, who ended his contract on June 30, for one more season, that is, until 2022. This forward accumulates 115 minutes this season. spread over seven games.

He is not, far from it, the first youth squad that the sports management led by Manolo Gaspar manages to convince him to continue at least one more campaign. Despite the economic straits, Manolo has managed to renew more players who can be the future of Málaga. There are six in total. David Larrubia, until 2023, Hicham until 2022, Ismael Casas, Cristo and Juande (2023). Without forgetting Ramón Enríquez until 2024. We can add Luis Muñoz to this group, until 2022 although in this case this player signed after having finished his contract.

And they won't be the last shields. The club has an agreement (advanced by El Desmarque Málaga) to extend the youth Loren Zúñiga and about Gonzalo and Kevin's. Others like Juan Cruz's are more entrenched. Ale Benítez or Mike also finish. Work is not lacking for the sports director. Málaga explained the news on its official website under the striking headline “July, until June 2022”.

Since the painful management of Abdullah Al Thani was relentlessly deteriorating the day to day of the club that he was forced to transfer homegrown players to survive. Juanmi, Recio, Darder, Jack Harper, Hugo Vallejo, En Nesyri or Ontiveros among others, for which he has raised more than 70 million euros. The last sale, Antoñito to Granada, was vital because, with that 1.5 million euros, Málaga was able to finish the 2020-21 League without danger of being expelled from the competition for not meeting the salary limit.
