Córdoba CF keeps Theo Zidane on its official website even though the Franco‑Spanish midfielder has no active contract, a rarity that draws attention during pre‑season. The club, returning to training this Wednesday at the Ciudad Deportiva, has 12 players under contract; Zidane is the only one listed without a formal link.

Why does Theo Zidane still appear on the website?

The youngster completed the second year of his contract on 30 June 2026, having signed in summer 2024 when Córdoba CF had just been promoted to Primera RFEF. Since then his spell has been uneven: in autumn‑winter 2024 he earned starts and a few goals, but the arrival of Pedro Ortiz in January and several muscle injuries stalled his progress.

What has happened with his contract situation?

In the 2025‑26 season a disc hernia forced Zidane into surgery, keeping him out for three months. Still, coach Iván Ania gave him minutes in the final league games, keeping hopes of a renewal alive. Yet local sources reported weeks ago that clubs such as Ceuta were interested and that Córdoba CF was unsure about his future, weighing a one‑year low‑cost offer.

What does his presence on the website mean for the club?

Keeping Zidane on the official roster could be a communication oversight or a tactic to keep the option open. In a summer marked by many departures —players like Alcedo, Xavi Sintes or Dani Requena have already left— his name stands out as the only face without a contract visible. The page also lists the goalkeepers and the 11 field players still under contract: Álex Martín, Franck Fomeyem, Rubén Alves, Carlos Albarrán, Ignasi Vilarrasa, Isma Ruiz, Diego Bri, Percan, Kevin Medina and Adilson.

What lies ahead for Theo Zidane?

With the transfer window open and pre‑season underway, his future remains uncertain. If Córdoba CF opts to renew, it will likely be a one‑year deal with reduced terms. Otherwise, interest from clubs like Ceuta could lead to a permanent exit. Meanwhile, his website listing continues to fuel conversation among fans and the local press.
