# Cádiz CF 2026 squad restructuring continues > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/cadiz-cf-transfer-saga > Updated: 2026-07-28T12:38:07.000Z. Sources: 12. Developments: 8. 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. ## Timeline ### 2026-07-28: Cádiz and Málaga outline summer transfer plans in Spanish football Cádiz nears a loan for Dani Barcia, potentially facilitating Iker Recio’s move to AD Ceuta, while Málaga confirms no player exits this summer amid administrative oversight. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-and-mlaga-outline-summer-transfer-plans-in-spanish-football ### 2026-07-11: Antoñito Cordero to spend another season on loan at Cádiz Antoñito Cordero, 19, will stay on loan at Cádiz for the 2025‑26 season, extending his spell after 21 appearances and three goals helped the club stay up. 5 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/antoito-cordero-to-spend-another-season-on-loan-at-cdiz ### 2026-07-08: Cádiz CF eyes defender Dani Barcia while loaning midfielder Yussi Diarra Cádiz CF strengthens its squad, targeting defender Dani Barcia and loaning midfielder Yussi Diarra to Córdoba CF as part of its 2026‑27 transfer plan. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-cf-eyes-defender-dani-barcia-while-loaning-midfielder-yussi-diarra ### 2026-07-06: Cádiz CF deals with defender’s exit and forward’s loan return Jorge Moreno leaves Cádiz for Tenerife on a two‑year deal, while Antoñito Cordero returns to Cádiz on loan from Newcastle after a successful previous spell. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-cf-deals-with-defenders-exit-and-forwards-loan-return ### 2026-06-17: Cádiz CF secures Mexican investment in Nomadar and reveals squad for LaLiga Genuine Moeve Mexican businessman Christian Septien acquired shares in Cádiz CF’s tech arm Nomadar, while the club named a 16‑player squad for the closing stage of the LaLiga Genuine Moeve inclusive tournament. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-cf-secures-mexican-investment-in-nomadar-and-reveals-squad-for-laliga-genuine-moeve ### 2026-06-14: Cádiz CF puts Diarra on market while scouting foreign signings for next season Cádiz CF aims to sell midfielder Yussi Diarra and is targeting foreign players to revamp its squad after retaining LaLiga Hypermotion status. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-cf-puts-diarra-on-market-while-scouting-foreign-signings-for-next-season ### 2026-06-13: Cádiz CF aims to retain Antonio Cordero while Yussi Diarra’s future remains uncertain Cádiz CF seeks to keep loan striker Antonio Cordero as his club negotiates an extension, while midfielder Yussi Diarra’s under‑whelming season leaves his future with the team in doubt. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-cf-aims-to-retain-antonio-cordero-while-yussi-diarras-future-remains-uncertain ### 2026-06-13: Cádiz rejects Yussi Diarra signing, limiting AD Ceuta's midfield options Cádiz declines to sign Yussi Diarra, forcing AD Ceuta to seek other midfield options as it rebuilds its squad for the new season. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/cdiz-rejects-yussi-diarra-signing-limiting-ad-ceutas-midfield-options --- Cite as: Cádiz CF 2026 squad restructuring continues.
