Before the start of the press conference, Sporting Director Loren Juarros spoke about the player’s arrival at the Club:
“First of all, we want to thank him for his willingness and desire to join Málaga. We also appreciate the effort made by his agent and his family to make his arrival possible. We deeply value the excitement and eagerness he brings, with a strong desire to help his hometown club, help it grow, and take it to the top.”
“We are a solid, committed group with a desire to improve. We want to grow with humility, ambition, and always with respect for the competition. Joaquín must be an important piece within this project, but here, achievements come through teamwork. He must integrate as just another member of this group we began building two seasons ago.”
“At 26 years old, we are convinced that he has not yet reached his best version. We trust in his ability to keep improving. What he has done so far has brought him here, but this is not the end. Rather, it is the beginning of something exciting and powerful, both for Málaga and for him.”

Desire to come to Málaga
“Last week we found out about the club's interest in me. From the very first moment, I was clear that I wanted to come here, and I asked for everything possible to be done to reach an agreement.”
Conversation with the míster
“I spoke briefly with Sergio, just enough. He already knew my intentions and asked me for a lot of hard work. We worked together in 2020, and I'm really excited to be with him again.”
Good personal and professional moment
“I think I'm in good form right now. I’m delighted and eager to show the kind of player I am. I need to improve my decision-making in the final third, that’s the key to continuing to grow.”
Objective: contribute to the team
“My goal is to contribute and help in whatever the coach asks of me. They also told me there’s a good group here, which is very important in this competition.”
Progress since his loan in 2020
“I think I’ve matured as a footballer since then. I believe I’m at my best level after this past season, and that’s reflected in the numbers. From now on, it’s all about working hard to reach as high as possible.”
Great dressing room
“There’s a great group, with a really good vibe. That’s essential in a squad competing in a tough league. The dressing room is a very important factor.”
Excited to see a full La Rosaleda
“I was here during the time when the virus affected everything, and I couldn’t enjoy the presence of the fans, that stayed with me. I’m really looking forward to experiencing a full stadium, something I’ve seen when I came as a visiting player.”
