Girona sets the future for two young African talents
Girona sets the future for two young African talents Girona FC continues to put its faith in its rising African stars. The Catalan club has made a decision on the futures of Lass Kourouma and Dawda Camara, two players who have made their mark with the reserve team. Lass Kourouma, a 21-year-old Guinean midfielder, was one of the main architects behind Girona B's promotion to the Segunda Federación. Vision, tempo control, and versatility make him a well-rounded prospect. Several LaLiga Hypermotion clubs have shown interest, but Girona has shut the door on any departure. The club is counting on him to play a role between the reserves and the first team this season. For his part, Dawda Camara Sankharé, a 22-year-old Mauritanian striker, is also attracting plenty of interest. After a standout season in the regional championship, he impressed with his physical strength, aerial ability, and his skill at playing with his back to goal. He took part in preseason with the first team. Girona is open to a loan move to help him rack up professional minutes.

The Costa Brava Trophy stays in Montilivi
Girona FC lifted the 48th Costa Brava Trophy today after defeating Wolverhampton 2-1 in an intense and thrilling match at Montilivi. Míchel's men delivered a solid performance in front of their fans, who witnessed a team full of rhythm, enthusiasm, and talent, led by a stellar Joel Roca, who was named MVP of the match. The game also marked the return of Santi Bueno two years after his transfer to the English club. With a starting eleven that could closely resemble the lineup for their league debut, Girona came out with clear ideas and high pressing that troubled the English side from the first minute. Asprilla, very active, was the main offensive agitator in the first half. Stuani had a goal disallowed for offside, and Gazzaniga provided security between the posts. The scoreboard, however, remained unchanged until the second half. In the 50th minute, Yangel Herrera finished off a great collective play by heading in a precise cross from Arnau Martínez at the far post (1-0). Just five minutes later, the action that lit up Montilivi arrived: Joel Roca scored a stunning goal, curling the ball into the top corner from the edge of the area, a masterpiece that was applauded as it deserved. The match also saw the debut of Thomas Lemar, who came on in the 65th minute to replace Asprilla, showing glimpses of his quality. With the score at 2-0, Girona continued to dominate, but the Wolves responded, and John Arias reduced the deficit with an individual effort that beat Gazzaniga in the 76th minute. Despite the tense final moments, the Girona team held on with professionalism and discipline. The Girona side will face Napoli on Saturday in what will be the final test of the preseason. Match Details Girona FC (2).- Gazzaniga; Arnau, David López, Krejci, Blind; Herrera, Solís; Tsygankov, Asprilla, Joel Roca; and Stuani. Also played: Miovski, Antal, Hugo Rincón, Portu, Lass, Papa, Jastin, Francés, and Lemar. Wolves (1).- José Sá; Hoever, Santi Bueno, Toti, Agbadou, Rodrigo; Trindade, Gomes, Fer López, Munetsi; and Larsen. Also played: Johnstone, Doherty, Mosquera, Arias, Bellegarde, and Bueno. 2-1 Arias (76')

Why Gutierrez is still waiting for a Napoli decision
Napoli have Miguel Gutierrez in their grasp for €20m and agreed personal terms with the Girona player, but have still not made a decision on whether to sign him. The left-back has just turned 24 last month and is a product of the Real Madrid youth academy, who made the move to Girona FC in 2022. Gutierrez has already agreed Napoli terms Osasuna's Spanish defender #04 Unai Garcia (L) tackles Girona's Spanish defender #03 Miguel Gutierrez during the Spanish league football match between Girona FC and CA Osasuna at the Montilivi stadium in Girona on March 9, 2024.

We added that a decision wouldn't arrive in 24-48 hours from Wednesday, because the club is trying to reflect on the situation. Indeed, we are now on Sunday and Napoli have still not pulled the trigger, quite simply because they are waiting for the next two friendly matches against Brest today and Casertana tomorrow morning. After that, they can make a decision on whether to go all in or consider investing in other roles.

Athletic has full confidence in the projection of the academy player and considers that this loan will be key to accelerating his competitive growth.

Originally from Ghana, Gabriel Misehouy (18) is temporarily leaving Girona FC to join Aris FC in Greece. The Catalan club officially announced his one-season loan on Monday, with no option to buy.
