In Vitoria, there is a fear that a club might try to sign Spanish defensive midfielder Antonio Blanco. The situation for the 26-year-old is that his contract expires in 2027, which could make his departure cheaper. Alavés prioritizes Antonio Blanco’s continuity, even if he leaves for free next year, rather than transferring him for an amount lower than desired. The one-cap Spain international has a current market value of €10.00m, according to Transfermarkt, and has been linked with clubs such as Olympiakos Piraeus and Real Betis.
