Tenerife has committed to financially supporting Jesús de Miguel's one-year-old daughter, Carla, until she turns 18, following the forward's tragic death. De Miguel, 30, suffered a cardiac arrest during a second-division match against Andorra and passed away last Tuesday. At a memorial at the Heliodoro Rodríguez López stadium, club majority shareholder Rayco García vowed, "Carla will never be alone." CEO Antonio Manuel Porro Granados confirmed the club will provide maximum support beyond legal obligations.
The family is also set to receive approximately €360,000 in base compensation. Former teammate Fran Sol launched a crowdfunding campaign, raising over €150,000, with contributions from players like Álvaro Morata and Álex Baena. Clubs including Burgos and Almería will donate gate receipts from matches against Tenerife, while Manchester United sent condolences.
A minute's silence and ninth-minute tributes were held across Spain in honor of De Miguel, whose funeral in Navahermosa was attended by Spain coach Luis de la Fuente and Real Madrid president Florentino Perez.
