“The club is in a very good financial situation and we don’t need to sell to anyone,” assured Alfredo García Amado in his presentation as the new CEO of Granada. The numerous rumors flying around Los Cármenes predicted a disbandment of players due to relegation, but the Spaniard was clear: “We are not in a hurry because the economic situation is stable and we are going to study all the profiles. We are not going to give facilities to players with a contract who have a commitment. It’s all together, league budget, salary capacity… the intention is that no one leaves”, he stressed. And with those and many Primera teams waiting for the sales in Los Cármenes, which has many attractive players, the club is already working to find out what intentions its players have.
Players like Luis Suárez, Maximiano, Duarte, Machís, Gonalons or Milla have a very good poster in First Division and many girlfriends. However, all of them have a current contract with Granada, which has invested in most of them in order to bring them to the Nasrid city and the club has no intention of losing money. The exit that seems clearer is that of Machís, waiting for the Mexican Juárez and the footballer to agree, the entity could already have the transfer for a figure close to 3.5 million euros. Taking into account that the Venezuelan has already tried to leave in the last winter market and that he has said that his future is far from the city of the Alhambra, it would not be seen as a bad operation. Another who has said in his country that he wants to leave is Maxime Gonalons. The Frenchman wants to return to France, but Granada paid four million for him last year and he has one more year on his contract. It does not seem that you can go for free, but the player is clear that he wants to leave.
More difficult are the other cases. Por Luis Suárez was paid about twelve million euros that are still being paid. The Colombian, who is currently with his national team, would look favorably on continuing in the top flight and his youth (24 years old) and projection make him a very attractive player in the market. Valencia or Sevilla would have already asked about him, but Granada does not want to lower his price too much. A similar case is that of Domingos Duarte for which Diego Martínez’s Espanyol has already asked. The Portuguese center-back wants to go to the World Cup in Qatar and for that, being in the First Division seems vital, so he will try to leave, but Granada will not let him go for free. With one more year left on his contract, the club doesn’t want there to be a Rui Silva case either.
Maximiano has been the great revelation of this course and Celta or Napoles already have him in their sights. However, the Portuguese also has a valid contract and is considered an important player who can be a differential in getting promotion. The offers that arrive and the force that the player makes to leave will be important for his future. Similar is the case of Luis Milla, a player who has many girlfriends, like Sevilla, but Granada invested ten million for his landing in Los Cármenes. He won’t let him out for less and that complicates his departure.
The rest of the cases, as both the sports director and the general director said, will be studied. But no one will be given away. Granada wants whoever leaves to checkout. Although with such a large squad, it won’t take long for players to start coming out…
