Elche CF has bolstered its squad through several new signings ahead of the upcoming season. The club first secured forward Fernando ‘Fer Niño’ Rodríguez from Burgos CF on a five-year contract lasting until June 2030. The transfer, which followed a reduction in the initial asking price from €4 million to approximately €3 million including variables, was intended to strengthen a forward line depleted by recent departures.

Following this, the club officially presented Fer Niño alongside other new acquisitions, including Argentine striker Abiel Osorio and Facundo Buonnanotte. The players were introduced to the public as they prepare for competition, with Osorio noting his focus on physical training to meet the technical staff’s requirements.
