Gabriel Pires, a 31-year-old Brazilian midfielder, is under consideration by Leganés as a potential reinforcement for their squad in the upcoming second division season. His current contract with Panserraikos, a team in Greece's Super League, is set to expire on June 30, which would enable him to join Leganés on a free transfer. The club has expressed interest in re-signing him due to his significant role in their 2016 promotion to the Primera División. With a reduced budget following their relegation, acquiring a player without a transfer fee is particularly important for Leganés. Although Pires has received offers from other Spanish second division clubs, such as Sporting de Gijón, Leganés remains optimistic about his return. The club cites his previous experience with the team and the strong support from the fans as potential factors that could sway his decision in their favor.
