Mika Marmol leaves UD Las Palmas, creating a defensive need

UD Las Palmas says goodbye to Mika Marmol, a key defender. The Catalan center-back, who has already closed his signing with Feyenoord, says goodbye to the entity after three campaigns in which he has been a fixture in the team's schemes.

What happened?

Marmol's departure, although assumed for months, is a significant setback for the sports management. The pair of center-backs is broken and UD Las Palmas must reinforce a position that becomes one of the priorities of the summer market.

Why is it important for UD Las Palmas?

UD Las Palmas is currently in 5th position in Segunda División with 73 points, 9 points behind leaders Racing Santander. Marmol's departure leaves a difficult gap to fill and forces UD Las Palmas to go to the market in search of another center-back if the operation with Barcia does not materialize.

What comes next?

UD Las Palmas has already incorporated Andrés Rodríguez, a 24-year-old center-back from Teruel, who signs for the next four seasons. The entity also intends to give an opportunity to Carlos Navarro, who arrives from the subsidiary. UD Las Palmas is looking for reinforcements in the summer market and must find an adequate replacement for Marmol.
