Charlie Patiño, a 22-year-old English-Spanish midfielder, will play on loan for the season at the German club Bochum in Bundesliga 2. He was one of four players Deportivo wanted to transfer. The clubs agreed to a loan until June 30. The deal was finalized hours before the transfer market closed and is pending official confirmation. Deportivo had registered the player with LaLiga but did not give him a squad number while awaiting his departure. Fernando Soriano had stated before the Deportivo-Valencia match that the deal for Patiño was significantly advanced. The offer from Germany was received at the beginning of the week, and the midfielder evaluated it with his club and agents. He also had offers from Spanish Segunda teams, including Ceuta, but chose the move to Germany. Patiño's contract with Deportivo runs until June 30, 2028, and he has made two appearances for the England U21 national team. His market value is €600k, according to Transfermarkt.
