Elche club-trained players

We can verify 1 club-trained player in the Elche squad: Adam Boayar. 4 other squad players are not verifiable on our record.

On the record we can verify, 1 player club-trained at Elche now plays for other clubs we track, led by Rodrigo Mendoza (Atlético de Madrid, value €16m).

• Rodrigo Mendoza · Atlético de Madrid · €16m

We count a player as club-trained when his record shows him registered with the club for three entire seasons or 36 months between the ages of 15 and 21 (UEFA's home-grown test), wherever he started and whatever he cost; time on loan counts for the club that borrowed him.
