Market

CE Europa turn down Sampdoria for Kevin

The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Transfer targets

Silas Prüfrock is a medical away from CE Europa

The deal with Greuther Fürth is done in every sense but the one that puts him on the pitch. Nothing goes wrong at this stage, except on the occasions when it does.

Transfer targets

CE Europa rebuffed over Ramón Enríquez

Not now, not at any price the club was prepared to say out loud. Málaga have kept their man, and CE Europa go back to a list with one name crossed off it.

Squad

Edqui Amaro 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.

Squad

The formation has left Jonathan Garín behind

Every shape has positions in it and this one does not have his. CE Europa will either change the shape, change his job, or change his club, and he is waiting to hear which.

Transfer targets

CE Europa ask about Ángel Pérez

A loan enquiry to Alavés: cover, or a look at somebody the club cannot afford to buy yet. Either way the answer will come back inside the week.

Squad

Meshack Babanzila falls out with a teammate over standards

The oldest argument in any dressing room and the only one that is genuinely about football: one man thinks another is not putting enough in. It is also the row a manager privately does not mind having happened.

Boardroom

No investment in the facilities at CE Europa

Nothing about this will be in a press release. A plan went upstairs, came back rejected, and the version of the club that would have existed in three years' time just quietly stopped being possible.

Market

Still no ink between CE Europa and Jonathan Garín

“We keep meeting, and we keep leaving the room with the same numbers we walked in with.” Another round of talks at CE Europa, another week without a signature from Jonathan Garín.

Squad

Kevin signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Kevin commits to CE Europa for another 4 years.

Transfer targets

Gijón tell CE Europa: Mamadou Loum 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.

Squad

Words exchanged at CE Europa

Edqui Amaro and a teammate said things this week that will take longer than a week to unsay. It was not about football, and both of them play on Saturday.

Market

One of our own: Jorge Ortega joins the CE Europa first team

Clubs spend fortunes looking for players and occasionally find one down the corridor. Jorge Ortega is that, and the reception he gets on his first appearance will be different in kind from the one any signing receives.

Market

Cristian Prieto steps up from the CE Europa academy

There is no fee, no unveiling and no agent on the steps. Cristian Prieto 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.

Market

CE Europa promote Eduardo Nieto from within

The academy exists for exactly this morning. Eduardo Nieto 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.

Squad

16 seasons of Álex Cano

510 appearances across 16 seasons in these colours. Careers like that are not built any more, and CE Europa know what they have.

Squad

Josu Gallastegui signs a new deal

“I never wanted to be anywhere else. There is unfinished business here.” Josu Gallastegui commits to CE Europa for another 3 years.

Squad

Tempers go at CE Europa

Álex Cano was at the centre of it, and by the time it was pulled apart there were three or four others involved. Training grounds are small places and long seasons make them smaller.

Transfer targets

A loan move for Abdoul Kialy Koné is in the works

CE Europa have made the call to Ceuta. No fee, a share of the wages, and a spare shirt in the position where the squad has been thinnest all season.

Transfer targets

CE Europa try to borrow Mamadou Loum

Gijón have been asked whether they would lend him. Loans are agreed quickly or not at all, and this one will be one or the other by the weekend.

Squad

Words at CE Europa training over how hard people work

Somebody said out loud what several people had been thinking. Adnane Ghailan is at the centre of it, and the squad will now find out whether the standard rises or the pair of them simply stop speaking.
