Raúl Guti has made a return to Real Zaragoza as part of a swap deal involving Marc Aguado. This move marks Guti's third time playing for his hometown club, Real Zaragoza. He had previously moved to Elche in 2020 for a fee of five million euros, which was a record amount for the club at that time. Due to limited opportunities for play and injury issues, Guti is now back with Real Zaragoza as a permanent team member. The swap deal was concluded on the final day of the winter transfer window, with both players having been born in Zaragoza and developed through its youth system. Raúl Guti experienced a challenging season with Elche, where he faced limited playing time and injuries, including a significant one when he returned to Zaragoza on loan last winter. He has now joined Real Zaragoza permanently, closing his chapter at Elche where he found it difficult to fulfill the expectations set by his record transfer fee.
