Las Palmas secured the future of coach Francisco Garcia Pimienta last week, managing to get a renewal done after he secured them promotion. Garcia Pimienta is now looking to use hisBarcelonaconnections in order to strengthen his side ahead of the upcoming La Liga campaign.
As perSport, the formerBarcelonaAtletic coach is hoping to bring in creative midfielderAlex Colladoand goalkeeper Arnau Tenas.
The former has spent the last 18 months on loan at Elche without much success, but has played 89 times under Garcia Pimienta, scoring 22 times and assisting 11. Collado was also his captain atBarcaAtletic, and is thought to have a price tag of around €3m.
Meanwhile Arnau Tenas is out of contract this summer. The Blaugrana have the option to extєɴԀ his Ԁєɑł by two years, and are thought to be deciding whether he should remain atBarcaAtletic – he is the current captain – or be loaned out.
Given Garcia Pimienta’s favoured style of play and familiarity with both of those players, these might be moves that make sense for for all parties. He may well be able to get the best out of them atLas Palmas, and in Collado’s case in particular, he is in desperate need for regular football again.
