Eibar has decided to keep its core group. So far, only two players have been released, and it seems unlikely that the team will undergo a major restructuring. Beñat San José is very satisfied with the majority of his squad, and the latest proof of this is the renewal produced in the ‘shadow’. Jair Amador will continue to be a blue and white player for another year. César Palacios acknowledged in his last press conference that the club will exercise its contractual option to renew the link with the central defender, which means that the Portuguese player will put his return to Real Zaragoza on hold, despite the agreement reached with the Aragonese entity. The blue and white sports director was categorical in this sense: ‘Jair will stay with us for another year. Contractually, there is that option and there is nothing to discuss’. The 1.90m tall defender was recruited by the Ipurua team in the past summer. After not renewing his contract at La Romareda, he was free to sign with any club, but finally, the Eibar offer was the one that seduced him the most, as he still wanted to continue his career in the second division. His arrival was closed with a one-year commitment with the option to extend to another, depending on the objectives and interests of the club. From the sports area, they have been very satisfied with his performance in the last few months, so they have decided to continue betting on his services. His course has gone from less to more. After a first half without opportunities in which his only option was to change direction, the Portuguese player has shone alongside the team's recovery. To the point of collecting 208 minutes in the first half of the season to add 1265′ in the second. A correlation more than positive with the numbers of an Eibar that has made the most successful comeback in its history in 2026. Only one thing needs to be noted: his defensive records, as with him on the green, the blue and whites have left their goal unscathed in eight occasions since March.
