Dani Barcia still not committing after offers from Las Palmas, Tenerife

Deportivo are moving quickly to shift several players this summer in order to free up roster and wage space, including Dani Barcia, who still hasn’t found a new club. Sport reports that the club is also trying to place Eric Puerto, José Ángel and Charlie Patiño to make room for a left-sided centre-back.

Offers Dani Barcia hasn’t taken

For Barcia, the central defender has been linked with proposals from Tenerife, Las Palmas, Córdoba and Utrecht. However, as Sport says, he has not yet made the leap to say yes to any of them. The article also notes that, from a sporting perspective, his role for 2026-27 is not expected to be ideal.

Antonio Hidalgo’s message

Coach Antonio Hidalgo has addressed the situation in two press conferences: first he said he had spoken with Barcia, and later he clarified he doesn’t include him in his options for central defence.

Deportivo are watching the next few days closely. Sport points to three days to see whether Barcia makes a decision, even though he has now been at Abegondo for two months without agreeing a new destination. During that time, Arnau Comas has reportedly overtaken him in the coach’s preferences. In parallel, the same outlet adds that José Ángel is also being negotiated for an exit, while Penafiel (for Eric Puerto) and Bochum and Ceuta (for Patiño) are named as possible landing spots.
