Marca reports on the last-minute breakdown of Álvaro Djaló's negotiations to join Al Gharafa in Qatar. Álvaro Djaló was in negotiations to join Al Gharafa in Qatar, but the talks broke down at the last minute.
Negotiations are underway for Álvaro Djaló to join Al Gharafa on a loan deal, with an option for a permanent transfer, under the guidance of Portuguese coach Pedro Martins. This strategy aims to release financial resources for Athletic Bilbao, who are eyeing a potential signing of Laporte from Al Nassr. Djaló, who transferred to Athletic Bilbao from SC Braga for 15 million euros a year ago, has struggled to make a significant impact in the Basque Country, managing only one goal in 28 appearances, mostly as a substitute. As a result, he was left out of the squad for the first pre-season match against Ponferradina, as coach Ernesto Valverde plans to adjust the team's dynamics. The presence of other players, such as Nico Williams, who has recently extended his contract with the club, along with alternatives like Berenguer, Navarro, and Serrano, has further marginalized Djaló, leading the club to consider this loan arrangement.
