Juan Córdoba Transfer from Dinamo Zagreb to Sporting Gijón
Mundo Deportivo has reported that the transfer of Juan Córdoba to Sporting has fallen through due to medical issues. The move, initially planned as a loan from Dinamo Zagreb until the end of the season, was halted after Córdoba failed to pass medical examinations upon his arrival in Gijón. As a result, Sporting's management decided to cancel the transfer. Córdoba, who is 21 years old and versatile enough to play on both wings, was expected to be a significant addition to the attacking lineup managed by Asier Garitano. He had traveled to Gijón with the intention of posing for the local press before completing the medical tests and signing his new contract.
Sportske Novosti has reported on the unsuccessful loan move of Juan Córdoba to Sporting Gijón, which was hindered by health concerns. Córdoba traveled to Spain to negotiate the loan deal with an option to purchase. He arrived in Spain last Thursday and underwent the usual medical examinations the following day. Although the clubs had reached an agreement on a one-year loan, the transfer was halted after further medical evaluations raised concerns about the player's health condition, the details of which were not officially disclosed. Córdoba is set to return to Dinamo, where he is under contract until the summer of 2028.
Index.hr has reported on the likely transfer of Juan Córdoba from Dinamo to Sporting Gijón during the summer transfer window. It is anticipated that Córdoba will leave Dinamo and continue his career at Sporting Gijón, which is a Spanish second division club. Sporting Gijón is in the process of finalizing the formalities to officially announce the Colombian winger's arrival. Córdoba has already departed from Dinamo's preparations to join Sporting Gijón on a one-year loan without a purchase option, despite previous unsuccessful negotiations regarding this clause.

Córdoba's goal is to regain his form and earn a call-up to the senior national team.
