Burgos CF announced on Monday the arrival of Balearic winger Javi Llabrés, who signed his contract and declared "I come with a lot of hunger". The signing comes as the side sits 7th in the Segunda División with 72 pts, 20 wins, 12 draws and 10 losses, chasing promotion spots just 10 points behind leaders Racing Santander.

What does Llabrés' signing mean?

Llabrés, 24, left Mallorca after several seasons without the continuity he sought. During his presentation, the player explained that Burgos' project appealed to him and that the club's confidence was decisive. "I needed a change and felt Burgos' security from the first moment," he said. His profile—vertical, quick and able to unbalance opponents one‑on‑one—fits Sergio Francisco's offensive philosophy, which aims to strengthen the attack to improve the 48 goals scored and tighten the 33 conceded.

How does the coaching staff view him?

Sporting director Michu spoke at the event, emphasizing that the club had closely monitored the player. "We have a lot of belief in him. He has quality, youth and room to grow. We're convinced he can deliver a great performance," he stated. Michu also noted that planning remains open and Burgos will work to reinforce several positions before the transfer window closes, keeping the ambition to climb the table.

What role will he play this season?

Sergio Francisco, Burgos' manager, said Llabrés adds speed and creativity to the right flank. "We want him to become a reference in attack, to create chances and, when needed, to score himself," he explained. With the team in a demanding phase of LaLiga Hypermotion, the coach expects the new winger to help maintain the positive run (WWWDD) and close the gap with the leaders.

What can we expect on his debut?

Fans are already picturing Llabrés in action at El Plantío. His debut is slated for the upcoming match against Albacete, where the manager has promised him minutes from the start if training permits. The pressure will be high, but the player trusts his ability to adapt quickly. "I want to help the team and repay the confidence they have placed in me," Llabrés reiterated, making clear his goal is to become an important player for Burgos CF.

As the campaign progresses and the battle for promotion spots tightens, Javi Llabrés' addition could be the spark Burgos needs to turn a good run into a decisive push toward the top.
