The arrival of Aitor Gelardo at Nàstic de Tarragona breaks the ice in the winter transfer market and is presented as an immediately necessary reinforcement for the midfield. This incorporation will allow the 'grana' club to gain tactical flexibility, enabling players like Mángel or Óscar Sanz to occupy the central defender position if required.

Gelardo, born on June 26, 2002, in Catral (Alicante), joins after terminating his contract with Racing de Ferrol, where he played during the last season and the first part of the current one. He was developed in the youth ranks of Villarreal, where he played in the UEFA Youth League and was an international with the Spanish U-17 and U-18 national teams.

Before his spell at Ferrol, the midfielder from Alicante played on loan at Linares in Primera Federación and competed in Segunda División with Villarreal B. His previous connection with the current 'grana' coach, Cristóbal Parralo, during their time in Segunda División with the Galician team, was a key factor in closing the operation.

Gelardo's profile is that of a creative midfielder, capable of taking responsibility for ball distribution, possessing game vision, and showing sacrifice in defensive duties. His arrival provides relief to Parralo's team, which needed urgent reinforcements, especially after the injuries suffered by Álvaro García and Almpanis last Sunday.
