This Sunday it was just two weeks ago that Espanyol certified promotion to the First Division after a historic final against Oviedo at the Cornellà-El Prat Perico Coliseum.
And when there’s only about a week left until Manolo González’s first team will start the preseason (Monday, July 15), the Spanish sports management made a direct decision, closing several casualties and having two reinforcements on the trackexcept for the last minute.
A few days ago the departure of up to five players was made official (Nico Melamed, Keidi Bare, Víctor Ruiz, Óscar Gil and Keita Balde)a carousel that can be expanded in the coming days as players want Ribbon They can also go out. And next week two signings can be announced, both for defence, surprisingly, two full-backs. Alvaro Tejeroa right-back, arrived for free from Eibar and will be tied, while the transfer of Carlos Romero, from Villarreal, It will soon become sweet and may even finish in a few days.
Fran Garagarza and his Perica sports management team are moving quickly to strengthen the team and make it competitive during the return to the First Division. He has advanced it in the presentation of Manolo González, when that was warned “We cannot come out with worse prospects to compete in the First Division than the Second and we will work hard on the assets; we need a competitive squad because the category demands it.”
For now, the reinforcements that could be announced next week are for the rearguard, two full-backs (who can play wing-back) to increase competitiveness in Omar and Brian Oliván. The house begins with the foundation, the defense. Without forgetting that it is also necessary to find a replacement in the midfield, a creative midfielder/midfielder to make up for the loss of Nico Melamed. And pending Garagarza what will happen to Martin Braithwaite Whether he continues or not, the market is also being combed in search of a ‘9’ with a face and eyes.
The summer transfer market is long and has only just begun, but unlike other years, the Spaniard already has at least two reinforcements on track.
