Overview

  • Eric García is scheduled to extend his contract on Thursday, December 11.
  • Ronald Araujo remains on indefinite leave for mental‑health reasons, and Laporta said he has offered support after speaking with the defender.
  • Laporta expressed support for LaLiga president Javier Tebas despite a TAD proceeding and said the board will announce the presidential election date at the end of January 2026.
