Girona getting dismantled (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

Aleix Garcia, Savio and Dovbyk are likely all gone next season to Leverkusen, Man City and Atletico (direct Rival). These are the 3 best players at the club.

Noone knows if Pablo Torre and Eric Garcia stay. Even if Pablo Torre stays he's a depth player. Also are they staying on loan or a permanent move.

Yan Couto and Miguel have been linked with moves away.

Blind and David Lopez are on their last legs both turning 35.

They'll have European games next sesson making a much heavier game load and they don't have any quality depth rn anyways.

Not to imply all these players will leave, the best 3 look most likely to leave. I think this is a serious dent to the Girona project.

I genuinely don't think they'll end up in the top 7 next year. No matter who joins and I know everyone wants to say the city group will send x or y but they really can't do much.

Can't wait to see how they replace these players.

Even Tsigankov and Ivan Martin are potentially leaving. Absolutely ends the project. All they have for sure is Yangel.

I believe it's quite obvious that Girona can't operate at the same kind of level that Man City does, even if they belong to the same state fund. Market just opened up, I wouldn't be surprised if they placed some interesting transfers aimed at generating income for the team while consolidating the identity of the squad. Plus, Savio leaving for Man City is quite a telling sign of this behaviour, imho.

Oh no way can Girona be on the City level, they will be forced to be a step below. But a step below is a high level! Having a player that would get into the city lineup, in fact 2 if you count Yan Couto as well is a European level, not just top flight.

Girona have already got Krejci, being 25 he likely won't be sold for profit nor move to city. The same goes for Abel Ruiz.

I think girona could have a European project here, if not a UCL team consistently atleast the uecl. Top 7 in Spain ain't that tough.

As for Savio, he was owned by Troyes. Another cfg club but one that is an absolute failure of a project. Was on loan at Girona.
