Granada CF is relying on its young academy players for the next season. Pacheta has given opportunities to some of the best players from the academy, such as Samu Cortés, Juanjo Flores, and Rayan Zinebi.

What happened last season?

Granada CF finished the 2025-26 season with an irregular performance. Pacheta gave opportunities to some academy players, but only a few managed to secure a spot in the first team.

Why is it important for Granada CF?

The lack of economy and the limitation of loaned players to only six opens the opportunity for academy players to prove themselves. Juanjo Flores, Zinebi, Puma Jiménez, Gambín, and Iker García will join the first team for preseason training.

What comes next?

The preseason will start in the second week of July. The academy players will try to earn a spot in the first team and save Granada CF some moves in the transfer market.

Granada CF needs reinforcements in the midfield and attack. Pedro Alemañ, Rubén Alcaraz, Rodelas, Jorge Pascual, and José Arnáiz are the only players with a contract in the club. That's where Rayan, Gambín, Dylan, and Owen have opportunities to receive a chance if they perform well in the preseason tests.
