Manolo Gaspar: “We do not close the door to anything in the market”

Manolo Gaspar served as master of ceremonies in the official debut of Álvaro Vadillo and Aleix Febas as new players for Málaga. Both made their debut as blue and white against Sporting de Gijón but it was not until this Thursday that they were officially presented. During the appearance, the sports director took the opportunity to slide the club’s purposes in the current winter market.

“As long as the market is open there may be movements. Regarding the incorporations, we were clear that we had to get ahead of the market, we are not as strong economically as the rest. It has been possible, it has been successful and that was the goal, for them to come as soon as possible so that they could play at home against Sporting. The market is open, a lot can happen and we are used to it happening. We have a fairly compensated squad. There are multipurpose players, we can play in different ways. We see the market from the tranquility, with views from above and seeing what may arise. We do not close the door to anything, we are going to see how the teams are moving, how things are fitting together ”, explained the La Paz.

Questioned by the possible arrival of a forward, he did not want to specify too much: “I am not looking for any striker, we are seeing the market with a panoramic view. If interesting things come up and we are in a good position, we will try “.

Regarding the starts, Gaspar ventured that there will be news: “The players know what their situation is. I think we are going to have some movement. We are also working on that. We have a fairly large staff. In the departures chapter, things get complicated because many factors come in, but I think we are going to have some way out”.

Malaga reserved a purchase option on Aleix Febas in the transfer agreement sealed with Mallorca, but the sports director avoided revealing the data of the same, although he did hint that the amount may be accessible: “Data we do not usually give because we never give them. Aleix ends his contract next year and his club should put in a purchase option. It has not been difficult and we are going to see how this time works. If all goes well and we can have some economic muscle, it may be viable at any given time.”.
