They have a clause that frees them from fulfilling their contract in case of relegation
Dsbanda in sight in Ipurua. Eibar is preparing for a restructuring that will directly affect the first team. More than half of its members will cease to belong to the club as of next week. To the six loaners who will return to their teams (Soares, Kevin, Pozo, Bryan Gil, Recio and Muto), we must add the five players who end their contract (Dmitrovic, Oliveira, Arbilla, Aleix García, Diop and Pedro León) -only Arbilla has options to follow-, plus some footballer with a cache that can seduce the interest of First-class clubs.
But the thing Don “t stay there. Of the 11 players with a contract in force for next season, four of them have a clause that frees them from continuing at the club in the event of relegation. Is about Kike García, Sergi Enrich, Takashi Inui and José Ángel. In the case of Enrich and Inui, Eibar would be willing to open the door because their salaries are unaffordable in the Second Division and the performance of both in the last two years has not been to throw rockets either.
Different is the case of Kike García and Cote. The striker from La Mancha has signed the best season of his career, he is the third highest national scorer (12 goals in 34 games) and he will not lack girlfriends. Levante, Huesca and Osasuna follow the track of ’17’, Everything points to the fact that he will decide to put an end to his time as a Barça player to continue in the top flight. He has earned it with goals and sacrifice. Eibar would love to have Kike in Second, but it seems very difficult for that to be possible.
Cote is also a footballer who has a place in the gunsmith team in the silver category. But his continuity, like Kike’s, is in danger. The Asturian has not had a good season (the first half was injured and in the second half he has not finished recovering his best level), although it is very possible that he also has First-class offers. And in that case, the ’15’ will be the owner of his future. Eibar will do everything possible to convince him, but that will be an impossible mission if he has offers from Primera.
Only seven footballers
To this day, el Eibar is only sure the continuity of seven players for the next campaign. Yoel, Correa, Bigas, Burgos, Sergio Álvarez, Quique González and Edu Expósito. The Catalan midfielder is one of the players that Eibar wants his next project to revolve around. He has a contract until 2024 and no one considers his departure, unless a club deposits his clause. Saturday will be a day of farewells not only because of Eibar’s farewell to Primera, but also because of the looming flight of players.
