Córdoba seals deal for Las Palmas left-back Cristian Gutiérrez

Córdoba CF is moving fast. After waving goodbye to Ignasi Vilarrasa, who heads to Burgos, the Andalusian club has already advanced negotiations for his replacement: Cristian Gutiérrez, left-back at UD Las Palmas. According to Sport, the deal is well underway and addresses an immediate need on the left flank of Iván Ania's defence.

The 25-year-old defender brings solid credentials in the Spanish second tier: 111 appearances spread across Málaga, Eibar and Las Palmas. He enjoyed his best spell at Eibar between 2023 and 2025, becoming a mainstay before moving to Gran Canaria last year. His first season on the island has seen limited game time (17 matches, six starts), making his exit easier following the arrival of Rubén de la Barrera as manager.

Córdoba believe Gutiérrez can recapture the form he showed at Ipurúa. He is a left-back with the ability to push forward in attack without compromising his defensive duties—exactly the profile Ania seeks to strengthen the flanks and use wing depth as a key offensive weapon.
