Cádiz CF 2026 squad restructuring continues

Overview

Cádiz CF’s summer overhaul progressed through early July 2026. After completing five signings—including defenders Javi Castro and Kenan Toibibou—to replace Pelayo Fernández and Jorge Moreno, the club kept its focus on reinforcing the back line. It confirmed interest in 23‑year‑old centre‑back Dani Barcia of Deportivo de La Coruña, whose loan could add depth ahead of the 2026‑27 campaign.

Mid‑field plans also materialised: the club loaned Malian midfielder Yussi Diarra to Córdoba CF for regular playing time, maintaining his contract through 2029. Meanwhile, forward Antoñito Cordero, on loan from Newcastle United, secured a second consecutive season with Cádiz, extending his stay through the 2025‑26 campaign after a productive debut spell.

Further developments in late July saw Cádiz close to finalising the Dani Barcia loan, a move that may facilitate centre‑back Iker Recio’s potential transfer to AD Ceuta, reflecting the club’s strategic use of loan arrangements. Parallelly, Málaga CF announced a decision to retain all players this summer, underscoring the broader context of financial caution and squad stability across Spanish clubs during the busy transfer window.
