Centre d'Esports Sabadell announced today, January 22, 2026, the loan departures of players Quim Utgés and Lluís Estebe, who leave the Nova Creu Alta seeking more minutes in the Segunda Federación division.

The departure of these two footballers follows the earlier move of Sergio Cortés to Terrassa. Quim Utgés, who has only accumulated 50 league minutes this season, is heading to Atlètic Lleida, a team currently in relegation positions in the bronze category.
Despite his limited participation in domestic competition, Utgés was key in specific moments, such as scoring the fifth goal in the chaotic match at Rico Pérez and netting a goal against Cornellà during the Copa Catalunya.
Regarding Lluís Estebe, the 20-year-old midfielder moves on loan to Reus, also in Segunda Federación. Both players are loaned out until the end of the season.
Although he has not yet debuted in the league with the first team, Estebe gained experience in the Copa Catalunya, participating in clashes against Ripollet and Cornellà.
