A knee injury of the worst kind for Bautista Canabal
35 days on the estimate, and a long, private, unglamorous year of a rehabilitation nobody watches. CE Europa lose a footballer; he loses considerably more than a season.
Market23 Aug 2027
Francisco Actis agrees terms with Ourense CF
The clubs have settled the fee and he has settled his wages. What remains is a medical and a photograph, and around CE Europa people have started saying his name in the past tense.
Market23 Aug 2027
Bautista Canabal hands in a written request
“I have nothing bad to say about this place. I just need to be somewhere else.” It is in writing now, which changes what CE Europa can pretend not to have heard.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
José Ortega’s move to CE Europa collapses on the table
Fee agreed, terms agreed, and a scan that said otherwise. He goes back to Sabadell; CE Europa go back to the market; and both will insist there is no story here.
Market23 Aug 2027
Huesca come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and CE Europa did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
The paperwork begins on Ale Meléndez
A medical, a signature, a shirt held up in front of a sponsor’s board. CE Europa have done the hard part with Ceuta, and the part that remains is the part supporters actually see.
Transfer targets23 Aug 2027
Arkaitz Mariezkurrena will not be coming to CE Europa
Terms were offered and declined. Whether it was the wages, the role or the town, nobody at Real Sociedad is saying, and nobody at CE Europa is enjoying the guessing.

Rubén Pardo 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 CE Europa this week that will take longer than a week to unsay.
Boardroom23 Aug 2027
Graduation day at CE Europa
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.
In brief
- Transfer targets Door shut on Adilson
- Market CE Europa promote Julen Cano from within
- Boardroom A promise the CE Europa board did not keep
