Thanks to Luis Suarez’s many goals, UD Almeria is dreaming of promotion—and better days with stars such as Unai Emery and Alvaro Negredo. Meanwhile, Saudi owner Turki Al-Sheik is considering selling the club. But that’s not good news for Almeria.
Promotion should not be a problem for Union Deportivo Almeria. It would be a direct return to La Liga after being relegated without fanfare in 2024 – after only two years in the top flight. Actually, as I said. After all, they have Luis Suarez, who is by far the best goal scorer in the second division this season with 23 goals, officially La Liga Hypermotion. And the fact is: in each of the past four years, the club that had the top scorer in the second division was also promoted.
