Pablo García has one foot out of the door
Terms are settled between the clubs and the rest is paperwork and a photograph. Around Gijón they have already started talking about him in the past tense.

Guille Rosas wants more than Gijón are offering
“I have ambitions, and I would like the club to share them.” Nobody has asked to leave and nobody has been shown the door — but a player chooses that sentence carefully, and a boardroom hears it exactly as it was meant.

A falling-out at Gijón
Hugo Guillamón and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at Gijón
5 boys move up, and somewhere in the building the people who coached them at twelve are quietly having the best morning of their working year. Nothing about this shows up in a result and it is why the academy exists.

Blau-Weiß Linz tell Gijón: Karim Konaté 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.

Lucas Santos steps up from the Gijón academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Lucas Santos 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.

Ignacio Bravo steps up from the Gijón academy
There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Ignacio Bravo 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.

A promise the Gijón board did not keep
There was a commitment, there was a date, and the date went past. Trust at a football club takes years to build and one afternoon to spend.
The dugout23 Aug 2027
The manager’s verdict
“I am frustrated, honestly. We did enough to win and we did not win.” Marcos Álvarez was not hiding it after 0‑0, and nobody in the Gijón dressing room was either.
In brief
- Match No goals between Gijón and Granada
- The dugout Kevin Vázquez gets picked when it counts
- The dugout Konrad De la Fuente knocks on the manager’s door
