On the final day of the transfer window, which ended this week, the Andalusian full-back terminated his contract with Southampton FC, who paid seven million euros to sign him in the 2022-2023 season. Having become a free agent with no ties to any club, Larios was able to negotiate a move that allowed Eldense to complete his signing despite the summer transfer window having closed this past Tuesday.
"Juan Larios is a dynamic left-back with excellent ball control, capable of progressing intelligently and beating opponents by carrying the ball. He stands out for his speed, agility and ability to take on defenders one-on-one, creating advantages from the flank. He is an intense and involved player, comfortable joining the attack and providing the team with width," Eldense said of the former Real Zaragoza player in its announcement of his signing.

TIME IN ZARAGOZA
After playing the first part of last season for Cultural Leonesa, Larios arrived in the Aragonese capital during the winter transfer window on loan from Southampton, with the backing of Rubén Sellés, whom he had already worked with at the English club. Following his arrival, the Andalusian secured the left-back position in Real Zaragoza's defense, making a total of 17 appearances and starting all but one of them.
