FC Andorra Nears Signing of Edgar González to Bolster Defence

FC Andorra is poised to bolster its defence with the signing of Catalan centre-back Edgar González during the winter transfer window.

The 28-year-old, who stands at 1.92 metres and is known simply as Edgar in football circles, is set to end his loan spell at Croatian side Hajduk Split, where he has struggled for playing time and felt uncomfortable this season. Owned by Almería, González does not feature in manager Joan Francesc Ferrer—known as Rubi—'s plans there either.

Croatian media report that he will likely join Andorra on loan, providing a physical presence at the heart of the backline under coach Carles Manso. The move addresses recent inconsistencies in Andorra's defence, where Sergio Molina has partnered the seemingly undroppable Gaël Alonso in recent matches, while Marc Bombardó and Diego Alende have yet to establish themselves firmly.

González brings experience from Spain's top flight. He rose through Espanyol's youth ranks—where his father, striker Lluís González, once played—before stints at Cornellà and Betis B. He broke into Betis' first team under Manuel Pellegrini, then moved to Almería for one La Liga season and two in the second tier.

At Hajduk Split, expectations of a key role failed to materialise, limiting his involvement. Andorra, seeking a left-footed centre-back amid regulatory constraints, identified González as the ideal option, with the player agreeing to terminate his current loan and switch to the Tricolours.
