UD Las Palmas accelerates transfer market moves ahead of new season, with the signing of Giovani Bonfanti and the departure of Cristian Gutiérrez. The club continues to advance in the planning of its squad for the next season and maintains several fronts open in the last days of the transfer market.
What happened?
UD Las Palmas has confirmed the departure of Cristian Gutiérrez, who will play on loan at Cádiz. The left-back from Málaga leaves the yellow entity to seek minutes that he did not have last season in Gran Canaria. Cádiz also reserves an option to buy the player, who arrived at the yellow entity from Eibar and has a contract until 2028.
Why does it matter for UD Las Palmas?
The signing of Giovani Bonfanti, a central defender from Atalanta, would allow the Rubén de la Barrera-led team to almost define the defensive line. Opoku has already signed with UD Las Palmas until 2028 and arrives with experience in the main European leagues.
What comes next?
The club's objective is to advance in the operation of incorporating a winger, a profile that the sports management considers necessary to complete the squad and provide the team with more offensive alternatives. The club's intention is to advance in this operation as soon as possible and, if market circumstances allow, to close the next reinforcement by the end of this week.
UD Las Palmas currently occupies the fifth position in the Segunda División, with 73 points in the final table of the 2024-2025 season, and has scored 57 goals and received 40 in the current season. The club is also 9 points behind the leaders of the competition, Racing Santander.
The signing of Bonfanti and the departure of Gutiérrez are part of the club's movements in the transfer market for the next season. UD Las Palmas continues to work to complete its squad and prepare for the new season.
