Suso transitions to substitute role at Cádiz CF
Suso, once considered a franchise player for Cádiz CF, has transitioned to a substitute role under new manager Albert Celades. Despite being one of the highest-paid players in the squad and holding a contract until 2029, the 32-year-old midfielder has struggled to find his form following his return to the club.
In a recent match against Celta Fortuna, Suso started on the bench, only entering the pitch for the final 20 minutes. While Celades has described him as an important player, Suso's recent performances and preseason form have led to questions regarding his standing within the team.
Club leadership, including Vice President Rafael Contreras, has denied rumors that the club is attempting to force the player out. As the transfer market approaches its September 1 deadline, the club continues to work on finalizing its squad, which still requires reinforcements in central defense and left-back.
