Marca reports that new Malaga CF signing Juan Berrocal can be selected for the next match. The coach stated that all new signings are physically ready, but that adaptation to the team's model will be gradual.

Juan Berrocal was presented as a new signing by Malaga CF. Berrocal mentioned that his agent informed him about the possibility to join Malaga and that it was a priority for him, partly due to proximity to his home. He revealed he came from Getafe, where he was unable to compete but continued training intensely. He had the opportunity to join Malaga in 2021, which did not happen at that time.

According to AS, both Berrocal and Neyou had to wait until the end of the transfer window because they were unwilling to forgo the money remaining on their contracts with Getafe.

According to Marca, Juan Berrocal has signed with Malaga CF until June 2027. He arrives on a free transfer after an agreement was reached to terminate his contract with Getafe CF. Berrocal was not part of José Bordalás's plans for this season and had been training separately from the group at Getafe. His arrival at Malaga allows him to regain prominence in La Liga and helps reinforce a position the sporting management considered necessary to strengthen before the market closed.
