UD Almería HubUD Almería has launched a multi-million remodeling to balance its accounts after the promotion fiasco. The sporting setback suffered by UD Almería after being eliminated in the promotion playoffs against Málaga has triggered a deep restructuring within the entity.
What has happened?
The loss of the opportunity to return to the top tier of Spanish football not only represents a blow to the fans, but also has significant economic consequences, with a negative impact estimated at around 71 million euros for the province.
Why is it important for UD Almería?
The club's management is forced to execute a drastic operation during the summer transfer market with the firm intention of obtaining a figure that ranges between 40 and 50 million euros, an amount essential to offset the significant budget deficit accumulated after another season in the second tier.
What can be expected?
To achieve this ambitious revenue goal, the sports leaders have put a significant number of their players up for sale, highlighting several names due to their high market value. The entity's main asset is Sergio Arribas, for whom the club does not intend to accept offers below 20 million euros.
| Player | Transfer value |
|---|---|
| Sergio Arribas | 20 million euros |
| Dion Lopy | 15 million euros |
| Stefan Dzodic | 15 million euros |
The capital entity has already secured an initial injection of 6 million euros before the start of July. This amount comes from the definitive sales of Bruno Langa for 1.2 million euros and Juan Manuel Gutiérrez for 1.8 million euros, complemented by the collection of various variables that had been earned from the contracts of Marc Pubill and Luis Javier Suárez.
