Events

8
  1. Made his senior debut for the club

  2. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
  3. Frustrated after the club rejected interest from Mirandés

    Moderate
    Cause
    Stage: the bid was rejected. It became public after the bid was rejected. Smaller club, but more minutes on offer. A bid has already been rejected. He is cautious until something concrete arrives. The role on offer is not a clean fit.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  4. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Moderate
    Cause
    He has unresolved concerns over his contract. His relationship with the manager is steady but tense.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.
  5. Signed a new contract

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.
  6. Praised privately for his recent performance

    Serious
    Cause
    The discussion focused on his recent performance level.
  7. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.
  8. Built a stronger partnership with Juan Foyth

    Minor
    Cause
    A strong training-ground partnership is behind this. A senior figure was at the centre of how it played out.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.
