Gonzalo Pérez, the final renewal

Gonzalo Pérez becomes Fertiberia Balonmano Puerto Sagunto’s final renewal for the 2025–2026 season. He has signed through to the end of the season.

The red-and-white right wing represents one of the academy’s most notable success stories in the current squad. He joined the club’s youth ranks during his youth career, played for the reserve side and eventually established himself in the first team.

The academy graduate has experienced his first season as a fully fledged first-team player this campaign. Last summer, he was one of the ‘signings’ ahead of the now-concluded 2024–2025 season. In 2023–2024, he had already been training under Toni Malla despite being registered with the Primera Nacional reserve side. This allowed him to earn a place among the senior players, with whom he has played his first season in the División de Honor Plata Masculina.

“Gonzalo is one of the Valencian players in our squad. This further reinforces our firm commitment to having people from the Valencian Community,” head coach Toni Malla says, highlighting the importance of having players from ‘la terreta’.

“This has been his first experience under our guidance, and he has plenty of room to progress thanks to the daily work and effort he demonstrates week after week. We are convinced that his development in the division will be significant and that he will gain maturity,” adds the Tortosa-born coach when discussing Gonzalo as a player and his potential.

As mentioned in the headline, this will be the final renewal. It follows those of head coach Toni Malla, for two guaranteed seasons plus an optional one; players Dani Martínez, Arnau Fernández, Matheus de Novais, Joaquín Barceló, Diego Olba and Antonio Capitán, all until 2027; and academy players David García and Javier Olivares, both until 2026.

In terms of signings, Alex Pozzer, until 2027, and Oriol Teixidor, until 2026, are already official. Over the coming weeks, the club’s website and social media channels will announce the final four additions, completing the 2025–2026 squad.
