Málaga CF remains without new signings, keeping the patience formula set by Loren Juarros after the promotion to LaLiga on July 9. Nineteen days after the historic return, the club has only renewed Einar Galilea and made no rushed acquisitions.

Why is the club still not signing?

Loren Juarros warned from the start that the club would not fall into the rush that marked the summers of 2022‑2024. The priority is financial stability and avoiding market mistakes that cost the team in the RFEF. With promotion, the budget is tighter than that of clubs like Real Sociedad or Athletic Club, so every signing is examined in detail.

How does this compare with previous seasons?

In 2023, the first signing arrived 24 days after the season ended; in 2024 the gap was 19 days; in 2025 it was 31 days with no change of division. The 2026 pattern returns to 19 days, identical to 2024, although the pre‑season calendar is shorter. Other promoted sides, such as Deportivo La Coruña, have already announced four signings and await a fifth, highlighting Málaga’s different spending capacity.

What does this mean for pre‑season?

Coach Antonio Gómez will have to work with the current squad, integrating youth players and a few internal reinforcements. Currently sidelined: H. Abaida, limiting options on the right flank and forcing a tactical adjustment. The ‘Funesbuque’ could arrive on Monday, but without known faces, the coaching staff will need to improvise.

What to expect in the coming days?

Fans hope the club will announce at least one reinforcement before official training starts. However, Juarros’ policy suggests any arrival will be late but well‑thought, avoiding unnecessary spending. Patience remains the key to securing a place in LaLiga.
