Official: Braian Cufré is Málaga's seventh reinforcement

Braian Cufré (Mar del Plata, Argentina, 12-15-1996) is now officially a new Málaga player. AS has captured the arrival of the Argentine left back, who has landed on the Costa del Sol after 7:30 p.m. this Wednesday to sign the contract that will join the blue and white club until June 30 and immediately put himself at the orders of the Asturian coach. The agreement for his transfer from Mallorca has been tied for days and was only in the absence of the medical examination, the signature and the official announcement, already published by the club. It arrives on loan for a campaign, without a purchase option.

This operation represents the seventh reinforcement of the summer, without counting the continuity of Chavarría and Jozabed, and completes the Malaguista left wing. Cufré will compete with Javi Jiménez for the left-back, but he will also be an alternative to act as a winger, a position that he has already occupied on numerous occasions throughout his career.

Málaga sports director, Manolo Gaspar, and his right-hand man, Francisco Capote, were waiting for him at the airport and they have picked you up on your arrival in Malaga. “I found out that I had to leave a year on loan, Málaga's opportunity appeared and I did not hesitate. Very happy to be here. I focus on being able to start training, meet my new teammates and face this Second Division, which is very complicated. I come to contribute where it touches me“said the Argentine as soon as he landed.” The truth is that Manolo was always very sincere with me. Very good people. That also convinced me to make the decision to come here, “he added.

Once Cufré's arrival is closed, Málaga will focus all its energies on the signing of two forwards to complete their attack. For now, José Alberto only has Chavarría (injured) and Brandon as options to act at the top. The team needs a goal and Manolo Gaspar's plan involves the incorporation of two attackers with certain guarantees.

The extra income from the agreement between LaLiga and CVC, if finally approved by the clubs, would allow extend the Blue and White salary cap and search the market for higher-level options. The attackers must put the icing on the cake to a project that generates a lot of illusion within the club and that will roll on Monday against Mirandés.
