Burgos CF kicks off preseason with two important signings: full‑back Alberto Dadie and winger Javi Llabrés, as the squad prepares to fill key gaps. The first training session will take place tomorrow at the Castañares Sports City under the guidance of Sergio Francisco.
Which players are joining the squad?
Alberto Dadie arrives from Real Sociedad B as a left‑back with experience in the Basque club’s reserve side. Javi Llabrés, coming from Mallorca, adds pace and width on the right flank. Both have signed three‑year contracts and are expected to compete for starting spots from day one.
Which departures does the club face?
The team loses Miguel Atienza, now at Leganés, and Íñigo Córdoba, who continues his career at Castellón. Mario González also departs, and several players have yet to renew, including goalkeeper Jesús Ruiz, French full‑back Florian Miguel, centre‑back Luengo, right‑back Aitor Buñuel and midfielder Iván Morante. These absences force the sporting director to seek reinforcements before the season starts.
How does this impact the season’s goal?
With the squad still reshaping, Burgos CF aims to cement a place in the upper half of the table. Currently the club sits seventh in Segunda División with 72 points, 20 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses, and a recent form of WWWDD. They have scored 48 goals and conceded 33, keeping a +15 goal difference, yet remain 10 points behind leaders Racing Santander. Preseason work will be crucial to close that gap.
What’s next for the blanquinegro side?
Sergio Francisco’s coaching staff has scheduled several friendly matches against regional teams to test different line‑ups. The priority will be to integrate Dadie and Llabrés while assessing renewal options for players in contractual limbo. The board also monitors possible exits of players whose market value rose after last season, when the blanquinegros flirted with promotion spots.
