Granada CF announces the arrival of midfielder Elene Guridi on loan from Real Sociedad for the 2026‑27 season, aiming to revitalize the midfield. The 23‑year‑old Oñati native extended her contract with Real Sociedad until 2028 before moving on loan.

What does Guridi's loan mean for Granada CF?

Guridi's addition offers a creative option for a side that, according to official data, sits 14th in the Segunda División with 48 points from 42 games (12 wins, 12 draws, 18 losses). Her experience in Liga F, the Copa de la Reina and the Supercopa de España gives Granada a player with top‑level pedigree, needed after a five‑match losing streak (LLLLL).

Why is Guridi's return important?

She missed several months last season due to injury. Now she aims to regain form at a club that has conceded 56 goals while scoring 50, a –6 goal difference. Since her debut in 2023, she has played over 40 matches for Real Sociedad, bringing confidence to help reverse the negative trend that ended with a 1‑2 loss to Sporting Gijón on May 30.

What does the coaching staff expect?

Coach Rubén de la Fuente stated that Guridi will provide greater control in midfield and safer passing options. With the team 34 points behind leaders Racing Santander, the coach believes the midfielder can add dynamism and help close the gap in the standings.

What is the short‑term outlook?

Granada CF prepares for its next clash with CD Lugo, hoping to snap the losing streak. With Guridi already training and adapting to the team's style, the hope is her presence translates into better results and eventually a more comfortable league position.

Key facts: Granada CF sits 14th with 48 points, 12‑12‑18, has conceded 56 and scored 50. Last result: 1‑2 loss to Sporting Gijón (30‑05‑2026).
