Sporting Gijón seeks reinforcements in the market for the 2026-2027 season, while Dani Gómez is released after negotiating with the club in January. The forward was on the table of the red-and-white sports management in the past winter market, but the Sporting prioritized the option of Uruguayan Andrés Ferrari. Now, the club is looking for a last name of a specific profile, younger and with projection that seeks to grow in professional football. The name of Ibai Sanz, from Athletic Club, appears on the agenda. The option of Dani Gómez cannot be ruled out because recent interest existed, but today it is not one of the priorities. Very different is the case of Pablo Insua, who left Sporting in the summer of 2024 after being an important piece in the red-and-white team. The management tried to renew him at the time, but the player received a superior offer in terms of economics and theoretically also in terms of sports, signing with a Granada at the time in First Division, although heading towards relegation. The central did not find the level offered in Gijón in Nazarí lands or in Zaragoza, where he found physical problems that in Sporting he had managed to leave behind. At 32 years old, he has cooled the interest that the red-and-white team had in his figure. The club is looking for central defenders in the market and will sign up to 3 incorporations in the position, but already has very defined priorities.
