The club was willing to accept the proposal, as the Murcian footballer's contract expires at the end of the season, allowing him to leave for free. This contractual situation made the club view an exit that would generate some income in the winter market favorably.
Jiménez's decision to remain with the squad closed the door on signing another striker. According to club sources, the attacker's departure would have immediately activated the signing of Sergio Castel, a 30-year-old striker with whom Nàstic already had a closed agreement.
Despite his contractual situation, Álex Jiménez remains a key player for coach Cristóbal Parralo. The coach fully relies on the attacker, valuing both his performance and his commitment to the group.
The coach considers him one of the 'untouchable' players in the squad, highlighting both his performance and commitment.
Starting June 30, Jiménez will be free to negotiate with any other team. The club accepts this circumstance naturally, prioritizing focusing all efforts on the decisive final stretch of the season.
