The process has been significantly delayed. The group’s arrival, with stakes in several clubs including Atlético de Madrid, was announced on July 14. However, it was not until this Monday, October 26, that decisive steps were taken toward finalizing the deal. This approval was essential for the acquisition of the company’s shares, meaning Real Zaragoza remained in the same hands.
Real Zaragoza president Jorge Mas at a General Shareholders’ Meeting
The latest development is significant: the CSD has given its approval despite A.Gain’s involvement with other clubs in the country. The operation must now be completed with the formal signing of the deal, followed by a Shareholders’ Meeting to ratify the changes. At least the roadmap is now clear.
Jorge Mas and Juan Forcén remain on the Board of Directors, despite the difficult experiences of recent years at Real Zaragoza. The club’s general manager, Guido Baroli, is now working at the SAD’s offices, while Santos Nagore, a key figure representing the ownership, has been seen around the Aragonese capital.
A PRESIDENT
One important issue is the appointment of a new president of Real Zaragoza. For now, Jorge Mas remains in the role. However, he is expected to become solely a member of the SAD’s board, with a new figure sought for the position, although the role would be largely representative. This will not be a conventional presidency, as is customary at most clubs, but rather a recognizable institutional figurehead.
