Who are the reinforcements?

The perico team has been working on incorporating new players to strengthen their squad. One of the names that sounds strong is Álex Calatrava, a winger who has demonstrated his quality in LaLiga Hypermotion with 14 goals and eight assists. The club has been in talks with Castellón to secure his signing, which could cost around five million euros.

What's happening with the defense?
