Córdoba CF has already established its roadmap for the winter market

One of the agents who has the most say in this matter is the technician. Ivan Ania. Precisely, the Oviedo coach spoke about possible winter arrivals after the match against Eibar. “An operation will surely be attemptedbut sometimes what you want doesn’t happen. We have around 20 players, but I’m not worried about losses, which is normal in football, but I don’t know if any player will want to leave or if anyone wants to come. Last year, in the January market, we moved the team quite a bit. It is not usual because it is a difficult market, but we will finish on Sunday in Vitoria against Mirandés and then we will see,” he explained.

With Iván Ania open to possible reinforcements, what is clear is that new recruits will always be They will improve what they already have; never subtract. “I’m happy with what I have. If the idea of ​​sports management is to contribute something, I am one of those who always say that if it is to improve the team, perfect. If it’s to replace, I don’t want anyone to come,” he maintained.

Premature labor based on economic growth

The other agent in this equation is that of green and white directive. As stated by Antonio Fernández Monterrubio, CEO of Córdoba CF, in the Summer Market Report, the anticipation This type of event is one of the current fundamental aspects of the club.

“We always put sport first and pursue planning and strategy with the same common thread. We are already working on the winter market because this strategy is bearing fruit and it has been important to anticipate it”, he explained. It is therefore very likely that the green and white manager has already several names written in his diarymovements which are made at the expense of the original clubs of each player act to compensate for these losses.

In addition, there is a determining factor to take into account: he economic growth. The salary cap for Córdoba CF personnel costs is 10 million euros after the summer, as Monterrubio commented in his own market review. Furthermore, he also wanted to clarify that this amount has not been completely exhausted, considering it as a “cover for the winter market” to use the two tokens that the club still has to complete its squad. Furthermore, there has always been a budget evolution over the last four months to improve this figure.

The search for an attacker

Even if the desire is to strengthen, the Blanquiverde squad is currently suffering from a notable state of “overbooking” – 25 squads – and the management of Cordoba will have to let several players go, a task which is intended to be complex. due to the lack of possible offers. Within the cabals to reduce the workforce, a player who is on the exit ramp is Obolski. In a one-striker system, the Russian striker was completely overshadowed by appearing in three league matches and adding 33 anecdotal minutes.

Although it was proposed to the teams of Russian Premier LeagueFirst Division of his native country, this summer also his name was associated with teams of First Federationa category where he could explode with Ibiza and Barakaldo. Obolskii’s appointment ends on June 30 and a termination of the contract by mutual agreement This can be one of the keys to executing your release and allowing you to get the minutes you are looking for. This “modus operandi” was recently implemented by the green and white entity with actors like Calderón, Martinez or Kuki Zalazar.

If a team finally bets on Obolskii, Cordoba will have carte blanche to undertake the signing of a new attacker. This operation was continued by the management of Cordoba until the last minutes of the summer market, but ultimately it could not be undertaken. Specifically, this ‘9’ profile could also respond to an effective response capable of performing in midfielda versatility that would allow him to have minutes in the presence of Fuentes and Guardiola as a pure attacker.

If this signature is not validated, one option could be to reread Mariano Carmona of his loan to Alcorcón. Even if his start to the competition was brilliant, achieving two goals Over the first four games, his scoring rate declined, scoring only four goals. Therefore, acquiring minutes in the potter’s team is vital for its growth, making unlikely his return this winter to Cordoba, although it can always be considered in case of extreme necessity.

Unimportant players

Leaving the lead aside, if you look at the team, every area of ​​the pitch has, at least, two players. This situation is positive to say the least, but it has also motivated several troops. have minimal impact. The clearest case of Jan Salasa player on loan from Mallorca and who does not appear to have featured in Iván Ania’s plans. 107 minutes spread over three matches for the Catalan midfielder which undoubtedly do not meet the desired expectations.

It must be remembered that Salas’ loan reflected a mandatory reporting clausean entry in his contract which does not seem to be realized. In these conditions it would not be unreasonable for the Balearic and Cordoba club to arrive to an agreement to end his trip in Cordoba in January. This decision is most likely linked to financial compensation, but as Monterrubio said about the case of Jan Salas, this case is being considered and they can undertake it with solvency.

Keeping an eye on the midfield, if the green and white entity decides to continue their “exit operation”, another option could be to Pedro Ortiz. Like Obolskii, his contract ends on June 30 and his popularity has declined significantly.

After adding five starts in the first seven matches, that of Palma de Mallorca did not show the shine what he did last season, which made him add several games without minutes – he only participated in four of the last eleven duels. Given this situation, the green and white club can look for options in the market for the medullarybut now a new condition has been presented which can be a lifeline for Jan Salas and Pedro Ortiz.

Théo Zidane had to undergo surgery treat a disc process by surgery. This setback will keep him away from the playing fields for three monthsso that they can find their opportunity in a nucleus where the names of Requena, Isma Ruiz and Alberto del Moral already exist.

Confidence in the return of the injured

As part of the speculation about possible incorporations over the next month, what is certain is that Córdoba He already has his own “signatures”. As the start of 2026 approaches, for the match against Burgos on January 3, the green and white ecosystemThe return of Fomeyem and Diego Bri from their respective injuries is scheduled. With this, Iván Ania will again have four central defenders performing at a high level, in addition, the right and left wingers will again have replacement options with Bri.

Additionally, although it is unlikely to be for the first match in January, the left back can be reactivated again with Adilson’s arrivala player for whom Iván Ania has repeatedly expressed that his ability to overwhelm makes him one of the players the most important of the team.

It will also be the beginning of gradual return of Vilarrasaa player who was one of the best left-handers last season and who has not yet been able to take off due to pubalgia which has still kept him away from the playing fields since October 13. what’s new to come With imminent departures, this month of January presents itself as a cocktail of strong emotions which will be seasoned with the return of key players from Cordoba.
