Málaga make their move for Santiago Castro
$48.9M on the table at Real Sociedad. The manager wanted him, the board agreed a number, and the only voices still to be heard are the ones at the other club.
Transfer targets21 Aug 2028
Door shut on Renato Veiga
Málaga asked and Villarreal said no without discussing a figure. It is the least ambiguous answer in football and the one clubs most often come back to test.

Daniel Yáñez due for a Málaga medical
Everything agreed with Ibiza, everything agreed with the player; a doctor is the only person left to persuade. The photograph is a day or two away.
Market21 Aug 2028
Real Avilés come back empty-handed
The bid was some way short and Málaga did not need long over it. Nobody in the game reads a first refusal as the end of anything.
Squad21 Aug 2028
A falling-out at Málaga
Alfonso Herrero and a teammate went at it, and not about football. Training grounds are small places and a long season makes them smaller.
Match19 Aug 2028
The run is over for Málaga
8 matches without defeat, and then Osasuna. Nobody at the ground pretended it would go on forever; nobody expected it to stop here either.
Boardroom21 Aug 2028
4 academy players handed senior numbers at Málaga
The morning the pathway stops being a brochure and becomes a team sheet. Most of them will not be here in three years; all of them have already done the hard part, which was getting to today.
Match19 Aug 2028
Málaga come up short against Osasuna
Osasuna left with the points after a 1‑2 defeat that will take some explaining on the terraces.
The dugout21 Aug 2028
The manager makes an example of Alfonso Herrero
“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.
In brief
- Market Málaga promote Ricardo Cano from within
- Market Málaga promote Mateo Vidal from within
- Market Jon Gómez steps up from the Málaga academy
