In early July 2026, Cádiz CF secured Ibon Sánchez on a long‑term contract, adding depth to its roster. A few weeks later, the club announced it was pursuing veteran right‑back Luis Pérez, a 31‑year‑old with La Liga promotion experience, to strengthen the defensive line ahead of the upcoming Segunda División season.

On 2 August 2026, Cádiz completed a loan signing of 19‑year‑old Spanish‑born midfielder Dilan Zárate from Inter Milan. The deal runs until the end of the season and includes an option for Cádiz to purchase the player, with a counter‑option allowing Inter to reacquire him. Zárate, a Spain U‑19 international and European champion, is expected to add creativity to the midfield while gaining regular minutes in Spain’s second tier.
