Ivan Martos - Out against Real Madrid Martos (undisclosed) is not in Almeria's match day squad for Sunday's clash against Real Madrid.
Umar Sadiq - Will play Sunday Sadiq has been registered for the season and will play Sunday against Real Madrid, according to manager Rubi via La Voz de Almeria.
Impact Sadiq was a late call as he dealt with transfer rumors but this news confirms his presence in some capacity against the Champions. He scored 18 goals and logged 12 assists while in the second division last season and his production will be key if his club are to survive relegation.

Leo Baptistao - Transfers to Almeria Baptistao has signed a four-year contract with Almeria after transferring from Santos, the club announced Thursday.
Impact Baptistao scored seven goals in 38 appearances in all competitions during his 12-month stint with Santos in Brazil, and the 29-year-old is now returning to Spain for the first time since January 2019 with Almeria. He has wracked up 34 goals and 23 assists across 178 La Liga matches throughout his career with Rayo Vallecano, Atletico Madrid, Villareal and Espanyol.

Fernando Pacheco - Transfers to Almeria Pacheco has joined Almeria from Deportivo Alaves, it was announced Wednesday. He's committed to a four-year contract with his new club.
Impact Pacheco brings a solid track record in the first division after spending the last seven seasons in Vitoria-Gasteiz, bringing his old club up from the second division and never losing the starting job. While joining a different promoted side isn't likely to help his value, Pacheco should still be able to take over the starting job from Fernando Martinez and keep the team afloat as long as he can.

Ivan Martos - Recovering from injury Martos didn't train as of Wednesday due to an undisclosed injury, according to Rafa Gongora of La Voz de Almeria. The first match of the season comes Aug. 14 against Real Madrid.
Impact Martos might not be much more than an option off the bench after playing in just 11 league matches last season. He's can play at center-back or left-back but it's the outside position in which he's played the most.

Umar Sadiq - Training with team amidst rumors Sadiq has been training with his teammates as of Wednesday but is also awaiting news of a potential transfer away from the club, according to Rafa Gongora of La Voz de Almeria.
Impact Sadiq has been among the second tier's top scorers over the last two seasons and it's certainly been enough to earn him a big-money transfer away from the club. As there aren't any guarantees he'll be as successful in La Liga, it's fair to assess his options before Sunday's opener against Real Madrid. If he doesn't stick around, Dyego Sousa and Largie Ramazani will be the newly-promoted side's top forwards.

Marko Milovanovic - Joins Almeria Milovanovic transferred to Almeria from Partisan Belgrade on Monday.
Impact Milovanovic hasn't done much as a professional but scored 26 times in 34 matches for the U-19 team, which probably helped him earn this transfer even more. While the club will hope Milovanovic can produce immediately, it may be best to expect more in a season or two.

Houboulang Mendes - Signs with Almeria Mendes joined Almeria on a four-year contract after departing from French side Lorient, his new club announced Wednesday.
Impact Mendes had an exceptional season with 11 clean sheets in 36 starts and will now try his hand in Spain. He also made a fair contribution offensively with one assist on 65 crosses and made 58 tackles during his final term in France, though his production could be stunted upon joining a newly-promoted club.

Pozo - Transfers to Almeria permanently Pozo has signed a five-year contract with Almeria after transferring from Sevilla, the club announced back in June.
Impact Pozo tallied three goals and four assists in 39 La Liga 2 appearances last season while on-loan with Almeria, and the 23-year-old has now joined the club on a permanent basis following the conclusion of his loan. He will presumably remain the team's starting right back in this upcoming campaign.
