Real Zaragoza's Economic Strategy Unchanged Under New Majority Owner A.GAIN
Real Zaragoza's new majority owner A.GAIN, which purchased 75% of the club's shares, will maintain the existing economic framework set by sporting director Lalo Arantegui. The squad's total cost is projected at 5-6 million euros for the upcoming Primera RFEF season, excluding youth and infrastructure expenses. The new ownership, led by CEO Bobby Aitkenhead and Argentine executive Guido Baroli, met with the technical secretariat for over three hours. Baroli emphasized promotion as the clear objective and pledged to conduct a budget analysis before allocating resources efficiently. The club has made 11 summer signings, including Ander Herrera, all on free transfers except Raúl Pereira. At least three more additions are expected, prioritizing a center-back and two strikers. The squad cost places Zaragoza among the top spenders in the category, comparable to recently promoted Tenerife. Additionally, 28 departures have occurred, including contract endings and loan returns, while contract adjustments for captain Francho Serrano are advanced.
