The fashion effect has passed for Girona. Last season, Michel's band had knocked out the liga by tearing a good third place behind Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Obtaining a historic qualification in the Champions League, the Catalan club had notably distinguished itself by a licked and offensive game. During the summer of 2024, many executives were sold like Artem Dovbyk (AS Roma) and Aleix Garcia (Bayer Leverkusen) while Eric Garcia (FC Barcelona), Yan Couto (Manchester City then sold at Borussia Dortmund) and Savinho (Troyes then sold in Manchester City) had ended. Five major departures that the Catalan club tried to compensate with the arrivals of Yaser Asprilla (€ 18 M, Watford), Abel Ruiz (€ 9M, Braga), Ladislav Krejci (€ 8M, Sparta Prague), Bojan Miovski (€ 6.5m, Aberdeen) of Alejandro Francés (3.5m € Beek (500,000 euros, Manchester United).
At the same time, Bryan Gil (Tottenham), Arthur Melo (Juventus), Arnaut Danjuma (Villarreal) and Oriol Romeu (FC Barcelona) arrived on loan. A summer of big changes for Girona who discovered the Champions League for the first time in its history. The pressure was important for the blanquivermells who had to be well appeared after a previous season of high bill. But ultimately it clearly did not go as planned. Not spared from physical seeds, Michel's workforce has experienced numerous disturbances over the season and the layout of the eleven type was struggling to set up.
Nine possible departures
Only 33rd out of 36 in the group stage of the Champions League, Girona has long been in the middle of the Liga ranking. But the Catalans were frightened when validating their maintenance and finally completed the exercise in sixteenth place with only one more than legate the first relegated. A sluggish season from start to finish for Michel and his gang which can expect an equally complicated future. As revealed Sportthe players loaned this year that are Bryan Gil (Tottenham), Arthur Melo (Juventus), Arnaut Danjuma (Villarreal) and Oriol Romeu (FC Barcelona) should go back to their respective clubs. For Arthur Melo, negotiations in relation to his continuity are underway.
For Bryan Gil, his serious injury did not help and Girona will not raise the 15 million euros in his release clause. For Oriol Romeu and Arnaut Danjuma who disappointed, they will leave well. Departures that will not be the only ones since Juanpe and Juan Carlos will see their contracts arriving at expiration. The two players should not continue with Girona. A situation that could also affect three other players in the workforce. Excellent last season, Miguel Gutiérrez, Yangel Herrera and Viktor Tsygankov had more difficulty during the current exercise but keep a good side. The latter could thus leave this summer and participate in this talent leak on the side of Girona.
