Transfer targets

Door shut on Germán Berterame

Girona asked and Inter Miami CF said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Transfer targets

An offer of $4.6M for Gonzalo Crettaz

Girona have gone to NEC 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.

Squad

Bryan Gil stays put

“The easiest signature of my career.” Bryan Gil and Girona agree another 4 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

Market

Girona promote Ignacio Santos from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Ignacio Santos has come through every age group the club runs and has now been handed a senior number, and the people who coached him at twelve will be the proudest in the building.

One of our own: Juan Fernández joins the Girona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Juan Fernández is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

One of our own: Luken Nieto joins the Girona first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Luken Nieto is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Raúl García steps up from the Girona academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Raúl García has been at this club since he was a boy and is now, formally, one of the first-team squad — which for a local readership beats any signing of any size.

Squad

Portu in a row with a teammate

It was not about football and everybody who saw it knows that. Two men who have to play together on Saturday said things at Girona this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.

The dugout

Abel Ruiz gets it from the manager

“Nobody here is above being told.” It was not said with a name attached, but the dressing room can count, and so can everybody who was listening.

In brief

  • The dugout Bryan Gil knocks on the manager’s door
  • Squad No place for Rossi in the new shape
  • Squad A wage question at Girona
