Transfer targets17 Aug 2026
An offer of $9.7M for Isi Palazón
Lugo have gone to Rayo Vallecano with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.

Lugo bid $2.2M for Rodrigo Marina
The offer went to Betis this week and it is theirs to answer. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loud the door closes.

An offer of $1.4M for Matías Arias
Lugo have gone to Vélez with a bid, and the supporters have gone to the internet with an opinion about it. Whether either changes anything is up to the selling club.
Boardroom17 Aug 2026
Lugo go back to the board over Isi Palazón
The number the board signed off was not enough. It has been asked again and raised its own offer to $10.8M — a club that wants Isi Palazón enough to be asked twice.

Independiente Rivadavia tell Lugo: Agustín Albrini is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

Words at Lugo training over how hard people work
Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Iago López is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.

No place for Nicolás Luján in the new shape
He is not being dropped. There is simply nowhere in the formation Lugo 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
- Boardroom No investment in the facilities at Lugo
- Market No place for Iker Piedra in the plan
- Market Ariel Bulacio joins Lugo to strengthen the squad
