Since the transfer market closed in August more than two months ago, Córdoba has so far made no progress in terms of renewals. And there is a lot of work to do since more than half of Blanquiverde’s squad ends their contract in 2025, next June. Some may win the extension with different objectives. Others will even be able to negotiate their contract from next January. There are undoubtedly heavyweights on Iván Ania’s list today in the Second Division, which is why the sports management must start designing the squad for next season as quickly as possible.
Of the team of 22 players, eleven players are at the end of their contract. In this list, there are eight which do not (a priori) include objective extension clauses. It all depends on the sports management and the interests of each player. In defense, Córdoba could lose one of its main assets, Lapena. To date, he is the strongest in the green and white defense. He doesn’t have a contract either. Martinez beyond next June even if this has left some doubts in recent days, particularly on a physical level.
On the right side, there is also a gap beyond June because both Carlos Albarrán nor Carlos Isaac they terminate their contract. For the moment, the Catalan is a step ahead of his teammate even if Extremadura is pushing to start. Either way, Córdoba could lose both of their right backs in one fell swoop, forcing Córdoba to rebuild their defense again. That same summer, Kuki Zalazar He renewed for a season with Cordoba after having achieved the objectives (or having remained very close to them). But beyond June, he has no connection with the club.
In addition, today there are three very important players in the club who fulfill their contracts in 2025. On the one hand, there are Adilsonwho is in the home stretch of his convalescence and starts whenever he is available. With speed and outflanking on the wing, he could attract the interest of several teams in the category. Just like Carracedo which borders on the high level at the start of the season and the club has not yet renewed his contract which also ends in June. A more than valuable winger for the silver category, given his offensive contribution.
A special case
The most particular case is undoubtedly that of Antonio Casas. The Ramble striker was set to leave for Portuguese football last summer. However, Córdoba did not accept the first offer, considering it below its value. The player himself forced his exit with a statement calling on “both parties to reach an agreement.” However, he stayed in Cordoba and he currently has five goals, so his value will increase. At the moment there is no progress regarding its renewal and the contract also ends in June.
Finally, there are three players whose contract ends in 2025, but who have possible extensions depending on certain objectives specified in their clause. The goalkeeper Ramon Vila He signed for one season plus another optional season, as did Genaro or Mati Barboza when he sealed his renewal. However, it is the progress of the season that will determine the future of these players who have the possibility of renewing for another year if they play a certain number of matches, or a specific few minutes.
To the eleven players whose contract ends next June are added two loaned players who will return to their club after having worn the green and white jersey for one season. Wonder he would go to Real Madrid Castilla and Ander Yoldi at Osasuna, where both will fight for a place in the first team. The other option is that they manage to stand out in Córdoba and that the sports management tries to sign them as property, as they did with Álex Sala last summer.
