Top footballers donate to Fran Sol's fundraiser for de Miguel's family

Former Willem II striker Fran Sol's fundraiser for the family of deceased Tenerife player Jesús de Miguel has raised over €200,000, with donations from top-flight players including Porro, Remiro, Bartra and Morata.

Fran Sol, a former Willem II striker who previously played for Tenerife, launched a fundraising campaign following the tragic death of Jesús de Miguel, who died during a match between Tenerife CD and Andorra FC. The initiative has gained significant support from professional footballers across Europe's top leagues.

Notable donors include Tottenham's Pedro Porro, Real Sociedad's Álex Remiro, Real Betis players Marc Bartra and Diego Llorente, Celta de Vigo's Borja Iglesias, and Leganés' Álvaro Morata. The largest single contribution came from Cádiz president Karl Christian Septien Stute, who donated €15,000.

Sol revealed that an anonymous but well-known active footballer made the second-largest donation, though he declined to name them.

The fundraiser has now exceeded €200,000. Sol expressed his gratitude for both the substantial donations and smaller contributions, emphasizing that every gesture matters. He is coordinating with Tenerife officials to ensure the funds reach de Miguel's family as quickly as possible.
