Carlos Dotor - Returns to Malaga on loan Dotor is returning to Malaga CF on loan from Celta Vigo for the 2026-27 season, once again linking up with head coach Juan Funes, the club announced.

Impact Dotor came through Real Madrid's academy before Celta signed him in 2023, and he had a standout season on loan at Malaga last year, making 40 official appearances with one goal and four assists as he established himself as a key player in the club's historic promotion to the First Division. Rather than making a fresh move elsewhere, Dotor is heading back to an environment he already knows well, continuing his development at Malaga for a second straight season as the club prepares for its first top-flight campaign in years.

Impact Herrero started 46 matches for Malaga last season, allowing 54 goals while keeping 13 clean sheets, including two during the playoff run that secured promotion to LaLiga. His individual work is a departure from team training, and further details on the reason behind the setup will be worth tracking as Malaga builds toward its top flight return.

Impact Galilea recently signed a one year contract extension with the club through the 2026/27 season, having made 80 official appearances and helped Malaga to two promotions since arriving three seasons ago, most recently the club's rise to LaLiga this past year. His mixed training approach positions him to build up gradually as one of the squad's key figures both on and off the pitch heading into the club's top flight return.

Impact Calero came through Malaga's academy for five seasons before making 66 appearances with the reserve side, and later returned to Real Valladolid where he helped the club earn promotion to La Liga in his first season with the first team. The center back went on to spend seven seasons with Espanyol, winning promotion to the top flight twice during that stretch. He arrives with more than 140 La Liga appearances to his name after his contract with Espanyol expired. Calero is expected to bring experience and stability to Malaga's backline under coach Juanfran Funes.

He has served as one of Malaga's captains and is regarded as a key figure both on the pitch and in the dressing room. With this extension he continues into a fourth season at the club, now at the top flight level, following campaigns that took him from Primera Federacion through the Segunda Division and up to La Liga.
