Málaga CF is keeping the operation for Ryan Kent open, English winger 29 years old who is currently without a team. In this latest news from Málaga CF, the sports management continues to work on incorporating the forward at no cost during the final weeks of the market.

Kent has been free since January 1, 2026, after finishing his spell at Seattle Sounders. His situation allows Málaga to negotiate directly with the player without having to face a transfer, although the agreement must fit within the salary structure established for the club's return to La Liga.

Málaga CF wants to sign Ryan Kent

Ryan Kent arrived at Seattle Sounders in March 2025 after having developed almost his entire career in Europe. The contract signed with the American team covered that season and included an option for 2026 that was ultimately not executed. 

Since then, Kent has remained a free agent and has received interest from different markets. His last European spell had been with Fenerbahçe, after playing for several seasons at the Scottish Rangers.

It was precisely in Glasgow where he had his most continuity. In his last full season with Rangers, in 2022/23, he played 44 matches, scored 3 goals, and provided 10 assists, in addition to starting in all nine Champions League matches played by the Scottish team.

Málaga aims to take advantage of his free-agent status now. Kent primarily plays on the left wing, although he can also play on the right, a position that the sports management continues to explore alternatives for before the transfer window closes.

Málaga still has room for signings

The operation fits within the club's economic scenario. José María Muñoz, judicial administrator of Málaga, recently confirmed that there is room to complete several signings as long as they respect the salary parameters set for the squad.

The Andalusian team has returned to La Liga after eight years and continues to complete the team led by Juanfran Funes. This summer, players like Fernando Calero, Juan Cruz, Carlos Dotor, and José Salinas, the latter loaned from Espanyol, have already arrived.

The sports management led by Loren Juarros also keeps open the possibility of assuming a transfer. Muñoz confirmed that the club has financial leeway for new moves, although the priority remains not to break the salary scale built over the past seasons.

Ryan Kent could arrive without a transfer fee

The main advantage of the operation lies in the acquisition cost. Málaga CF would not have to negotiate with another club for Kent, so discussions focus on the salary, contract duration, and the player's personal conditions.

Kent has over 300 professional matches under his belt between his stints in England, Germany, Scotland, Turkey, and the United States. Before playing in Seattle, he had been at Liverpool, Coventry City, Barnsley, Freiburg, Bristol City, Rangers, and Fenerbahçe.

The next step will be to determine if the Englishman's economic conditions can fit within the available margin at La Rosaleda. Málaga CF keeps Ryan Kent among its options, and his free-agent status allows negotiations to continue even as the club considers other reinforcements to complete the squad.
