After humiliating Simeone, the millions that a Premier League giant would pay for the Girona coach

Girona is being the big sensation in LaLiga this season. Michel's team is firmly positioned as one of the teams to beat in the current season. The club has established itself as the surprise of 2023 and in 2024 it seems that they will continue in an important way. Now, after beating Atletico Madrid, people are taking the project and the coach more seriously.

Míchel's future as Girona coach has taken an interesting turn, as two historic European clubs, Newcastle United and Olympique Lyon, have expressed their interest in signing the Spanish coach. Information from Mundo Deportivo reveals that both clubs have tested the possibility of having Míchel's services this season, but the coach has made it clear that his priority is to stay with the Catalan team and lead it to European glory.

Between the two suitors, Newcastle United appear to be leading the race to secure Míchel as their new tactician. The English club, mired in doubts about Eddie Howe's performance, is seriously considering the option of entrusting the Magpies project to the experienced Girona coach. The Premier League has seen Spanish coaches such as Mikel Arteta, Pep Guardiola and Unai Emery reach outstanding levels, which has raised Míchel's price on the market.

Does Michel want to leave Girona?

Despite the tempting offer, Míchel has made clear his desire to remain at Girona and take the team to European competitions. His outstanding work in LaLiga, where Girona is in the fight for the title alongside giants like Real Madrid and FC Barcelona, has cemented his reputation as a high-level coach. The summer is seen as a key period for making decisions regarding Míchel's future. Míchel currently has a contract with Girona until June 2026, although he has a termination clause. According to Estadio Deportivo, this figure could exceed 10 million euros.
