Transfer targets

Girona make their move for Rasmus Højlund

$47.7M on the table at Napoli. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Transfer targets

Girona rebuffed over Antony

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Betis have kept their man, and Girona go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Transfer targets

Girona make their move for Tachi

$3.2M on the table at Zaragoza. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.

Boardroom

Girona go back to the board over Tachi

The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $3.3M — a club that wants Tachi enough to be asked twice.

Transfer targets

Alexis Rodríguez due for a Girona medical

Everything agreed with another club, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.

Market

Portu is free to find somewhere else

“I was told straight, and I would rather have it straight.” The manager at Girona has been clear about where Portu stands, which is more than many ever get.

Boardroom

Girona say no to the training-ground money

The plan went upstairs and came back down. Nothing about that will make a headline anywhere else, and everybody who works at the training ground will remember it for years.

Looking ahead

A test against the best for Girona

The team at the top of the table next, and the honest measure of where this side actually is. Anybody can beat the club below them; the question is what happens against Athletic Bilbao.

Squad

No place for Rossi in the new shape

He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Girona are playing to put a man who does what he does, which is a harder thing to be told than any team sheet.

In brief
