Elche CF has reached an agreement with Atlético de Madrid for the transfer of Madrid-born goalkeeper Alejandro Iturbe. The goalkeeper signs a four-year contract with the franjiverde entity until June 2029. The operation has been closed in a transfer, but the colchonero team retains 50% of the rights to one of its players with the greatest projection from the rojiblanca academy. Alejandro Iturbe has been an international with the lower categories of the Spanish National Team and won the gold medal at the 2024 Paris Olympics. This summer he has played in the Euro sub-21 as a starting goalkeeper, but the “rojita” did not manage to pass the quarterfinals after losing to England. Iturbe comes to compete with last season's Zamora of the Second Division, Matías Dituro, for the starting position. Elche CF strengthens its goalkeeping position after the departure of Miguel San Román from the ilicitano team. Alejandro Iturbe joined Atlético de Madrid in 2008, passing through all the lower categories. This season, Iturbe has played a total of 34 games with Atlético de Madrid B, conceding a total of 33 goals, that is, less than one goal per game, and achieving a total of 10 clean sheets in the third category of Spanish football under the orders of Fernando Torres. The signing of Iturbe is an important reinforcement for Elche CF, which seeks to improve its position in the standings. With the incorporation of Iturbe, Elche CF has an experienced goalkeeper with a great future ahead. Iturbe is only 23 years old and has already demonstrated his quality in Atlético de Madrid B. Elche CF hopes that Iturbe will be a key player in the next season.
