Eibar renews Sergio Álvarez contract until 2028

Eibar has officially announced the contract renewal of Sergio Álvarez, whose return to Sporting was considered by the club. The Avilés-born midfielder will continue to play for Eibar next season.

What happened?

Eibar has announced the extension of Sergio Álvarez's contract for two more seasons, until 2028.

Sporting's interest in Sergio Álvarez's return dates back to last summer, when the Gijón-based club made an inquiry to know the player's availability.

Why is it important for Eibar?

Sergio Álvarez's continuity at Eibar rules out his possible return to Gijón, which was considered as one of the signings studied by Sporting for the upcoming season.

The Sporting's sports committee had the midfielder well positioned to reinforce the '6' position, a demarcation that the club considers key to strengthen.

What's next?

Sporting still has other alternatives to reinforce that position. The priority is to incorporate a physically dominant midfielder with the ability to offer a different record to the squad in a area of the field that the club considers strategic for the upcoming season.
