Girona FC coach Michel Sanchez reveals his desire to reinforce the squad during the ongoing winter transfer window as the Catalans eye a shot at the La Liga title.

With the second half of the La Liga campaign underway, Girona remain a formidable contender for the championship. Michel, acknowledging the team's progress, expressed his optimism about potential additions to the squad, emphasizing the importance of taking positive steps forward.

"At this point, there is the potential departure of Ibra Kebe, so we would need a player in that position," Michel stated. "If someone comes, it should be to improve the squad. I just want to work in the same way, I don't ask for more."

The upcoming clash against Almeria at Estadio Mediterraneo looms large for Girona. Michel outlined the team's objectives for the season, emphasizing the initial goal of securing their position in the Primera Division. He added, "The second is to be among the top ten, and the third is to surpass the best Girona in history."

However, Michel cautioned against setting unrealistic expectations, stating, "We cannot think that our objective is to win the League." The coach's measured approach reflects the team's focus on gradual improvement and consolidation in the highly competitive La Liga.

As Girona prepare for the crucial encounter with Almeria on Sunday, the potential departure of Kebe and Michel's strategic eye on reinforcing the squad underscore the team's commitment to staying in contention for the La Liga title.
