Girona FC faces a challenging summer transfer window in 2025 due to restrictions on receiving players on loan from Manchester City until at least September. This limitation significantly impacts their sporting plans, particularly after a season marked by extremes, from qualifying for the Champions League to narrowly avoiding relegation.
Miguel Gutierrez is a prime target for Italian giants, with Napoli currently leading the pursuit. Reports suggest a preliminary agreement has been reached with the player. However, Girona FC is demanding at least €35 million for the transfer, a figure that poses a significant obstacle for both Napoli and Juventus, the other club keen on the defender.
Negotiations are further complicated by contractual details. Girona only holds a 50% stake in the player`s economic rights, with the remaining 50% still belonging to Real Madrid. Crucially, Real Madrid also retains a buy-back clause valid until the end of June. This complex ownership structure and the potential Real Madrid intervention make lowering the transfer fee difficult, despite the Catalan club`s financial needs.
