According to Mundo Deportivo, Gonzalo Melero has been transferred from Almería to Leganés for the next two seasons. He joins Leganés to bolster their midfield as they make their return to LaLiga Hypermotion. At 31 years old, Melero is the twelfth player to be signed by Leganés this season. He has a history of collaboration with the team's current manager, Paco López, from their time together at Levante. Melero is recognized for his versatility in playing both central and advanced midfield roles, his extensive LaLiga experience, his knack for making late runs into the opponent's area, his powerful shooting ability, and his strong aerial presence, which makes him especially useful during set pieces. He will don the number '16' jersey and is set to commence training with his new teammates immediately. The date for his official presentation is still pending.

Marca has reported on the potential transfer of Gonzalo Melero from Almería to Leganés. It was noted that Gonzalo Melero is not traveling with Almería to Marbella for pre-season, which suggests he will not be continuing with the club. Leganés is interested in acquiring his services and has initiated negotiations with Almería regarding his transfer. Melero is reportedly attracted by the idea of returning home after spending three seasons with Almería. His contract with Almería is set to end in June 2026, and the club is keen to profit from his transfer before he can leave for free at the end of the season. Melero joined Almería in the 2022/23 season to bring experience to a newly promoted team. Although he initially found success, he later faced physical challenges that impacted his performance. Nevertheless, he managed to regain form and played a crucial role in Almería's final push in the league and playoffs. With Almería now in the Segunda División, the club is eager to capitalize on Melero's value, ensuring they benefit financially from his transfer rather than losing him for free next summer.
