After promotion to Second division, the focus is now on the El Arcángel offices, where the squad for next season is beginning to be configured. Córdoba returns to professional football five years later with a squad made up of 23 players, … of which 12 end their relationship with the entity this summer. The club wanted to wait to announce renewals, which will arrive in the coming days. As well as some goodbyeswhich are very close to being official.
On June 30, nine players from the entity end their contract with Córdoba. To them we must add the three players on loan that Iván Ania’s team has had this season. Among the eight who end their relationship with Córdoba is the goalkeeper Lluís Tarrés. He has been Carlos Marín’s substitute this season and his future at the club remains an unknown. He was promoted from the reserve team and could repeat his role as a substitute in the Second Division. On the other hand, Ivan Rodriguez He could also end his time as a green and white after arriving last summer. His contract expires in June and a possible renewal has not been made official.
One of Córdoba’s great pieces this season does not have a contract beyond June. Is about Calderon, which has been indisputable for Iván Ania this year. The full-back had a renewal offer on the table, of which nothing has emerged. However, the full-back himself confirmed on his social networks that he remains in the green and white team, so his renewal could officially arrive soon. Diarra, another key piece, also does not have a contract as of June. Although his future has been linked to Tenerife in recent weeks, the player admitted that wants to stay in Córdoba and he is happy in El Arcángel.
He also doesn’t have a contract Strong. A player who has not performed as expected this season. He signed last summer for one season plus another optional season, but it has not been revealed what objectives had to be achieved for a possible renewal. Therefore, his future remains up in the air. The fans are also waiting for Kuki Zalazar, who does not have a contract beyond June and his future is also unknown despite being a key player in the final stretch of the season. Also returns Christian Delgadofrom his loan at Numancia and also ends his contract with Córdoba.
There are two players who do not have a contract with Córdoba as of June, but their future is already far from El Arcángel. Simo, who has completed his third season with the Blanquiverdes, will end his cycle at El Arcángel. Like Alberto Toril. The promotion hero would have a two-season offer from Alajuelense, Costa Rica. His words at the promotion party made it clear that he has completed his cycle at Córdoba after a notable season in sports, with the final touch of a great tie against Barcelona B.
After those eight players, there are three more who are loaned. On the one hand, the central Carlos Garcia He says goodbye to Córdoba although his contract with his club, Cádiz, ends this year. Girona will also recover Alex Sala, on loan to Córdoba during this season with great success. Finally, the attacker Alvaro Leiva He will return to Real Madrid after an insipid experience at Córdoba. He arrived with the support of Iván Ania, but he has not convinced the fans nor has he been decisive in the final stretch of the season.
Two players until 2026: Isma Ruiz and Carlos Marín
Luckily, half of the squad does have a contract for next season. Up to 10 green and white players are linked to Córdoba until 2025, for one more season. That list includes great pieces of the white and green team such as Carlos Albarrán, Adilson or Antonio Casas. Also Carracedo, who has been the undisputed starter on the right wing. Captain Kike Marquezwho has had a more secondary role in the final stretch of the season, also has a contract with Córdoba for one more season.
There are two players who, despite having a contract until 2025, their future at Córdoba is uncertain. Adrian Castellano He has only played one game for the Blanquiverdes this season after a long injury. On the other hand, Dragisa Gudelj He left the playing fields last December due to a heart condition, so his return to football remains in doubt.
Neither Martinez He has had significance in the green and white team and also has a contract until 2025. Both Adri Lapeña as Matias Barboza This year they renewed their relationship with Córdoba for one more season so Córdoba will have four central defenders with contracts for the next 2024-2025 season in the Second Division, professional football.
What is clear is that Córdoba is not tied to long-term contracts. Only two players on the squad have a contract until 2026, that is, two more seasons. One of them is Carlos Marín, whose renewal is not official by the club, but the goalkeeper acknowledged at the promotion party that will continue two more years in Córdoba. Midfielder Isma Ruiz will also be there until 2026. It arrived last summer, but it has been a commitment to the future by the green and white club, which has worked very well this season.
