Málaga circles Zaha as an option after Lobete’s injury

Málaga keep looking for a solution to Julen Lobete’s injury, which has pushed the club to explore alternatives, according to MARCA. From Martiricos, the idea is to find an attacking profile that can replace the loss—an approach the paper compares to how others have gone for an “Aubameyang-type” option in their time.

Zaha is on the radar

As MARCA explains, Wilfried Zaha (33) has been added to the list of players offered to Málaga. However, the outlet stresses that there are no advanced negotiations yet with the Ivory Coast international. Zaha is currently without a club after finishing his stint at Galatasaray, and is now waiting for a new move.

LaLiga deadlines matter

The same piece underlines that Málaga’s window is tight: the ability to replace Lobete’s registration depends on the injury date and, especially, on when LaLiga issues the favourable medical report. Once that happens, the club will have 20 calendar days to request the substitute’s registration, as long as all competition requirements are met.

MARCA also notes that the shortlist includes Anthony Martial, though his wages/contract conditions make the deal particularly difficult. Málaga will therefore need to move quickly once the official paperwork timelines begin.
