Marked for Manuel Navarro

Squad7 Sep 2026

Manuel Navarro breaks a bone — 27 days out

Brutal, unambiguous and, for all the horror of the moment, usually less career-shaped than the ligament everybody fears more. 27 days, a clean timeline, and a return date somebody can actually plan around.

Market7 Sep 2026

Lucas Alcázar turns Mallorca down

“It was not right for me. I am not going to explain why to anybody except the people I owe an explanation to.” A deal agreed between two clubs, and a player who declined to be part of it.

Market7 Sep 2026

Castellón say no — this time

The offer from Eibar for Ousmane Camara was heard out and sent back the same day. First bids are rarely meant to succeed; they are meant to find out how loudly the door closes.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Arda Güler takes the match ball home

3 goals in one afternoon from one man. The other players were also present, a witness confirmed.

Market7 Sep 2026

Jérémy Mellot’s move to Betis falls through

The deal that would have taken Jérémy Mellot to Betis has collapsed at the last stage, and he reports back to Castellón with a summer to forget and a season still to play. Nobody is saying which side walked away.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

No sign of nerves from Arda Güler at 21 — 8.03

The hardest thing about being 21 in a senior side is that nobody makes allowances. Arda Güler did not need any: 8.03, and he looked the most comfortable man on the pitch.

Player ratings7 Sep 2026

Gaspar was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 26. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Boardroom7 Sep 2026

Castellón close the window on a squad of their own making

26 in and 1 out, and no more changes for months. The manager has what he has, the supporters have their opinion of it, and the table will have the last word.

Squad7 Sep 2026

Alejo Sánchez Roa gets the move he always wanted

Footballers are asked about their boyhood club so often that nobody listens to the answer. Alejo Sánchez Roa has just signed for Castellón, and for once the answer mattered.

Gaspar was unplayable

Successful dribbles: 41. He went past people as if he had been told there was a prize for it, and by the end the full-back had stopped pretending to try.

Market31 Aug 2026

Castellón turn down Cádiz for Diego Barri

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Squad31 Aug 2026

34 days out for Manuel Navarro after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Castellón will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Market31 Aug 2026

Mallorca watching Lucas Alcázar

The interest is real enough to have reached print. Castellón have said nothing, which in a transfer window is its own kind of answer.

Squad31 Aug 2026

Tempers go at Castellón

Jérémy Mellot was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Market31 Aug 2026

The Jérémy Mellot conversation is coming

Everyone has stopped pretending: Betis will make the call about Jérémy Mellot this week. Castellón have a number in mind, and the number is not shy.

Match29 Aug 2026

Castellón come up short against Las Palmas

Las Palmas left with the points after a 0‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.

The dugout31 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Romain Matthys

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.

Squad31 Aug 2026

20 new faces, and Castellón are still learning each other

A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.

Market24 Aug 2026

Gaspar is a Castellón player

The fee is $11.2M, the contract is signed, and the argument about whether he is worth it can begin. Gijón drove a hard bargain; time will say who won it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

43 days out for Manuel Navarro after a fracture

A bone, which is the one injury with a calendar attached. Castellón will name a return date and, unusually for this business, will probably be right about it.

Squad24 Aug 2026

Words exchanged at Castellón

Jérémy Mellot and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

The terraces24 Aug 2026

The town asked, and Castellón paid $11.2M

Gaspar was the name on every phone-in, and the club has gone and signed him for $11.2M. For one week the board can do no wrong, which is a week most boards never get.

Squad24 Aug 2026

A row about effort at Castellón

Somebody said out loud what several people thought about how hard another man trains, and Israel Suero was in the middle of it. The one dressing-room argument that is genuinely about football.

Transfer targets24 Aug 2026

Castellón rebuffed over Axel Lukaku

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

Match22 Aug 2026

Málaga take the points off Castellón

Beaten 1‑2, and beaten fairly. The manager kept his words short afterwards, which was probably wise.

Player ratings24 Aug 2026

Pablo Santiago runs at them all day

Successful dribbles: 19. There is a particular sort of despair on a full-back's face by the seventieth minute, and it was on display.

The dugout24 Aug 2026

The manager makes an example of Iñigo Córdoba

“If you cannot run for the shirt, somebody else will wear it.” No name was used and none was needed; every player in that room knew who it was for.
