Eibar is on the verge of losing one of its most outstanding players, Marco Moreno, who is in Salvador to undergo a medical examination with Esporte Clube Bahía. The operation, which could reach €1.9m, would be one of the biggest sales of the summer for Eibar.

What has happened?

The 25-year-old Canarian central defender has had a season of consolidation in Segunda División, playing 31 games with Eibar and becoming a key piece of the defense. His performance has sparked the interest of several clubs, including Elche during the last winter market.

Why is it important for Eibar?

The possible sale of Marco Moreno could become a key operation for Eibar's treasury, which aims to achieve a deficit of 0. The Eibar team, currently in 8th place in the Segunda División standings with 67 points, 19 wins, 10 draws, and 13 losses in 42 games, and with a goal difference of +12, needs to strengthen its squad to maintain the category.

What comes next?

Eibar already has a previous precedent, such as the departure of Matheus Pereira to Fortaleza in Brazil, although the player returned to Sport Club Corinthians Paulista after a few months. The arrival of Marco Moreno at Bahía could be a blow to Eibar, which would lose a player with a strong weight in the team's defense. The Ipurua team, which lost its last game against Castellón 2-1 on May 31, 2026, needs to find an adequate replacement to maintain its level in the competition. Eibar's situation is delicate, as they have lost their last two games and need to find a way to reverse the trend to maintain their position in the standings.
