A safe loss is that of Álex Domínguez, substitute for Álvaro Valles in the goal of Las Palmas. “He will go out on loan to another team”, assured. The substitute, very close: “There are several alternatives, like Aarón Escandell. We are not talking about footballers who are not here, but they have already done so from their club (Cartagena). Everything has its process”.

You have to bring in another winger, a central defender and two forwards”. In that list of reinforcements, despite the rumors, the name of Roque Mesa. “We were never close to signing him,” revealed MÁR. “He is a player from the house and I would have been delighted for him to come, but the Sports Management has decided that the incorporation of him was not necessary”, he insisted before adding: “Economically we would not have had any problem. It was simply a technical decision. We owed him an explanation, and we did.”
Also, when asked by Julián Araujo and Mika Mármol, two of the alleged footballers, insisted: “We are not talking about players that we do not have here. If I did it from Escandell it was because Cartagena revealed that we were interested in him”.
Joel Dominguez.

When it comes to undertaking these works, which will ultimately be paid for by the Cabildo de Gran Canaria, owner of the Stadium, he was more optimistic with the lower stands: “It will be fixed much faster thanks to your suppliers. Especially the path from the locker room to the box, which is impassable”.
Subscribers.
