The fundraiser launched by Hércules striker Fran Sol Ortiz to support the family of Jesús de Miguel has already passed €100,000, up from the more than €80,000 reported until now. The Tenerife forward died at 30 after a violent collision with FC Andorra goalkeeper Jesús Owono during a match; he passed away hours later from a cardiorespiratory arrest.
According to 20minutos, the donors include:
- Christian Septien, Cádiz president: €15,000
- Pedro Porro: €3,500
- Álex Remiro and Marc Bartra: €3,000 each
- Borja Iglesias: €2,500
Valladolid president Gabriel Solares gave €2,000, and an anonymous donation added another €10,000. The initial goal was €110,000.
The funeral took place on Thursday in Navahermosa, his family's village, attended by around 400 people, including Real Madrid president Florentino Pérez and national coach Luis de la Fuente. Tenerife's match against Granada and Andorra's match against Mallorca scheduled for this weekend have been postponed, and the club, which has declared six days of mourning, will pay tribute to him at its stadium on Saturday with its supporters.
