Elche CF is trying to avoid another 'Febas case'... by all means. Germán Valera and Marc Aguado, key players for Elche CF last season, will see their contracts end in June 2027 and will be free to leave at the end of the next campaign.

What happened to Aleix Febas?

The Illedense midfielder has been growing over the three seasons he has played for Elche, signing a outstanding season in 2025-2026... in the First Division. Finally, Febas has signed with Celta and will play, at least in the 2026-2027 season, European competition.

Why is it important for Elche CF?

The Elche CF management wants to avoid the Febas situation with Germán Valera and Marc Aguado, whose contracts end in June 2027. Germán Valera and Marc Aguado are the two situations that Elche CF will have to solve soon if they don't want to get into the dangerous situation of having a player on the payroll with a too close expiration date.

What's next?

Both will be free to negotiate and sign with the team they consider appropriate from January 1st. And Elche CF wants to reach that date, almost as it happened with Febas, with clear feelings about the future of both. Valera, 24, has been at Elche for a year and a half, first on loan and then as a permanent player.
