Eibar remains very active in the transfer market. The Sports Directorate led by César Palacios has made eight signings to date, in addition to facing different exits.

What's happening with Sergio Álvarez and Cristian Gutiérrez?

Two of the players with the most options to leave the azulgrana discipline are Sergio Álvarez and Cristian Gutiérrez. The Asturian could return to Sporting de Gijón seven years after his departure, while the Andalusian has been linked to Las Palmas.

Why is Eibar being inflexible?

The signings of Lander Olaetxea and Leonardo Buta make them non-essential players, and Eibar is prepared to assume their exits. However, the azulgrana entity has one thing very clear: the two are Eibar players and if they leave, it will be through a transfer.

What's next?

There's still a lot of market left, but what seems clear is that both will leave if the conditions that the azulgrana club wants are met. Sergio Álvarez's age and contract are factors to consider, while Cristian Gutiérrez has a good age and room for improvement.
