  1. Unsettled by the squad wage hierarchy

    Moderate
    Cause
    The squad's wage hierarchy is the underlying issue. The gap to the squad's top earners has become a daily reminder.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  2. Stayed on the bench while Urko González took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead
    Urko González was preferred — stronger quality on balance.
    Cause
    A more highly rated alternative was available.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  3. Worried by competition from a new signing Mario García

    Moderate
    Cause
    The signing was bought with a similar squad-status tier in mind. A much younger rival has arrived in his position.
    Outlook
    Contract request risk increased.

  4. Criticised for losing tactical discipline

    Moderate
    Cause
    He drifted from the tactical instruction the manager had drilled in pre-match. His match rating of 5.7 weighed heavily in the talk.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  5. Away supporters were hostile

    Minor
    Cause
    He drew sustained jeers from the away end.

  6. Reassured by a calm full-time message

    Minor
    Cause
    The moment called for a quiet show of support. He does not always respond well to pressure, which softened the lift.
    Outlook
    Trend is improving — relationship should keep strengthening.

  8. Stayed on the bench while Edu Expósito took the slot

    Minor
    Chosen instead

    His squad status would normally start, so the omission stings.
    Outlook
    Likely to settle unless repeated within the next few weeks.

  9. Asked the manager for a private conversation

    Moderate
    Cause
    He has unresolved concerns over his contract. His relationship with the manager is steady but tense.
    Outlook
    Manager intervention may be required if it persists.

  10. Signed a new contract

    Moderate
    Cause
    He committed to the project on terms both sides could live with.
