Key week for the arrival of a goalkeeper

Espanyol starts just today in a week its preparation stage in el Marbella Football Center, concentration that will go from Monday 18 to Friday 29. The sports management wants that except for a last minute setback, Diego Martínez already has a goalkeeper contrasted, a incorporation that should be closed this week since there is only one month left for the league debut (August 13 in Balaídos) and it is urgent that the first team already have its ‘guardian’.

Regardless of who is the second goalkeeper, disputing said place Joan García y Ortuño (goals of the subsidiary), two names continue to dominate the pools for choose the substitute for Diego López: the Polish Barlomiej Dragowski (Fiorentina) and the Riojan Alvaro Fernandez (Huesca). There has also been talk of the young Croatian,Ivo Grbic Atlético, without ruling out a ‘covered’ goalkeeper.

The ‘Fiore’ keeps putting sticks in the wheels to facilitate the transfer of the Polish meta. He hasn’t joined the stage that the Italian team started this weekend and they don’t have him, but the high economic pretensions of the Fiore (7 million) causes the matter to remain stuck.

Similar situation as is repeated with Álvaro Fernández, the goalkeeper that he likes the most and who would also have given his ‘OK’ to Espanyol. Huesca is very clear that it cannot be in its squad in the Second Division, but it will not sell it off and it remains at four million, without forgetting that Monaco (shares ownership) must also give the go-ahead to a possible departure from La Rioja.

Vinicius Souza, today on stage

Waiting for the steps to be taken to hire a goalkeeper, today will be the day of Vinicius Souza, the third reinforcement of Espanyol 2022-23 after the arrivals of Brian Olivan and Joselu. The Brazilian midfielder, who arrives on loan without a purchase option from Belgian Lommel SK, will be presented today as a new blue and white player.

vinicius will cover the outputs of David Lopez and Fran Merida and in principle, will fight for a place in eleven with Keidi Barethe only pure defensive midfielder who now counts Diego Martínez of said profile. Pol Lozano He also moves as a defensive midfielder, although at Girona he held other positions, more advanced, and will have to show Diego Martínez who can compete against the Albanian and the Brazilian.

Miguelón, imminent

This week could also be key in the departures chapter. In the next few hours, except for surprise, it will be official transfer of Miguelón to Oviedo. It will not be the last Dimata, Aleix Vidal and ‘Monito’ Vargas they do not fit into the plans of the parakeet technician and new destinations will have to be sought. Even Vadillo, who has many numbers of not wearing blue and white again either.
