Totally handcuffed because of the negative salary limit, Espanyol hopes to cut that chain next week. The intention of the sports management, after making the renewal of Javi official Handful, is to release three or four footballers who have offers in order to cut those 3-4 million (according to the club) that separate the blue and white entity from balancing the cost of the squad. Operations that, yes, they won't be easy, but that they would give the green light to the first reinforcements.
One of those footballers is Matías Vargas, which has a proposal from Leganes but that does not fit what Espanyol intends, taking into account that the priority is that the destination clubs assume the all of the token or they can even compensate Espanyol financially. Any income will be a relief. The Argentinian also has other proposals abroad that could better fit what the club wants. His departure will be one of the first.
Apart from Vargas, there are other players like Dídac Vilà, which has on the table an offer from Eibar which is also to his liking, his own Victor Gomez, for whom the club would see well a sale that could unblock, or even Alvaro Vadillo, a player that Francisco Rufete already declared that a transfer could be the most appropriate, who would enter the following operations. Other types of movements are not ruled out, although these could come later, such as the one discussed at the beginning of the market with Adrià Pedrosa, another youth squad whose sale would entail another reduction.
Right now, the Espanyol cannot incorporate which you consider your first options and you run the risk of them escaping due to the paralysis of movements due to exceeding the limit. They also do not want to use the rule whereby they can spend 25% of the savings after a move even if they are over the limit, since for that amount it will be difficult to recruit priority players. For that very reason, the entity is urged First resolve this situation so that the players who must reinforce Vicente Moreno's squad can arrive. This week, before the stay in Marbella, is the chosen one.
