Alejandro Francés leaves Real Zaragoza to join Girona. He signs a contract until June 30, 2029, to reinforce Girona's defense.

Alejandro Francés is set to join Girona imminently. The Real Zaragoza player was seen bidding farewell to his teammates yesterday, confirming the deal between the Catalan and Aragonese clubs. The central defender will bolster Míchel's squad, signing a long-term contract to be part of their new Champions League campaign. Francés, who was linked to Girona's defense during the last winter transfer window, finally makes the move seven months later. He will join a defense that includes David López, Daley Blind, and Ladislav Krejci, becoming the fourth central defender available to Míchel Sánchez in his third season with the 'blanc-i-vermell' club. This marks the second central defender signing in a month. Francés leaves Zaragoza as one of their top performers in recent years, having attracted interest from several La Liga clubs. He has chosen to advance his career with Girona, a team about to embark on the most thrilling season in its 94-year history.
