Ceuta is working to sign 29-year-old striker Nikolai Obolskii, and conversations are described as being at an advanced stage. The club's interest in the player is long-standing. They had previously monitored him during his successful spell at Ibiza, which led Córdoba to sign him after their promotion. While Ceuta is not willing to pay a transfer fee and is confident the transfer will be completed, Córdoba currently determines the timing of the potential move. The selling club would seek compensation to allow Obolskii's departure, despite his contract expiring on June 30, 2026, and also needs to find a replacement in the final days of the transfer window. Obolskii, who has played 117 minutes over six matches for Córdoba this season, is reportedly seeking more prominent playing time. The Russian forward's potential arrival at Ceuta is also linked to the departure of Manu Vallejo. His market value is €400k, according to Transfermarkt.
