Valencia has received a hard blow in its attempt to offload Samu Castillejo, who is not in the plans of coach Rubén Baraja for the upcoming season at Mestalla. The winger had recently been linked with Málaga, which seemed like a viable option for both parties. However, the operation has been ruled out, as confirmed by the general manager of the Andalusian club.

Financially unviable for the Andalusian club

The Malaga executive explained to MARCA that economic and regulatory restrictions affecting Second Division teams make it impossible to sign players with high-value contracts from the First Division. According to the official, the massive disparities in TV revenues between the two categories complicate these operations. While a mid-table Second Division team receives around 7 million euros, in the First Division, the figure soars to about 50 million. This creates an economic gap that makes it unfeasible to sign players like Castillejo, even if he were to terminate his contract with Valencia.

Malaga's refusal leaves Valencia in a difficult situation as they continue to search for a destination for a player who is not part of Baraja's plans. Castillejo's future remains uncertain, and the club will have to keep exploring options in a challenging market due to economic constraints and the lack of suitors willing to take on his salary.
