The Deportivo La Coruña Sentinel
Transfer targets12 Jul 2027
Deportivo La Coruña agree $23.7M for Eric García
The clubs have shaken hands with Barcelona; the player has not yet. Personal terms are next, and personal terms are where more deals die than anybody prints.
Market12 Jul 2027
Deportivo La Coruña turn down Valencia for Adama Traoré
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Riki keeps the receipts
“I remember the meeting. I remember exactly what was promised in it.” Deportivo La Coruña may remember it differently, which is precisely the problem.

The paperwork is done: Luis López joins from Eibar in a deal worth $2.0M. Now comes the harder part.

Adrià Altimira signs a new deal
“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Adrià Altimira commits to Deportivo La Coruña for another 5 years.

Deportivo La Coruña agree a free transfer for Aníbal Chalá
Nothing happens for months and then he simply arrives, at no cost, having signed a pre-contract while still turning out for somebody else. It is the least dramatic way to sign a footballer and frequently the shrewdest.

One of our own: Víctor Giménez joins the Deportivo La Coruña first team
Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Víctor Giménez is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Deportivo La Coruña promote Sergio Hidalgo from within
The academy exists for exactly this morning. Sergio Hidalgo 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.
In brief
- Squad Aitor Córdoba falls out with a teammate over standards
