A little over fifteen days before the start of the League championship (the weekend of September 12-13), the sports management of the Espanyol speeds up negotiations to reinforce the squad. There will be movements, although everything is cooked over a very slow fire, hence the club is aware that Vicente Moreno's team that will debut in the Second Division will still suffer many variations until the end of the market (October 5).
For now and although it is necessary to retouch all the lines, since there will be weight losses in all of them, the sports management has focused efforts on strengthening defense. The fragility of the rear and the consequent bleeding of goals was one of the main culprits for Espanyol's relegation.
In this scenario of propping up the rear, after confirming the decline in Javi López, Espanyol signed a young right-hander, Miguelón. And now I would be very close to tying a second, Óscar Gil, from Elche, waiting and except for surprise, the third parakeet signing of the summer.
Miguelón shone in Huesca
On the left-handed side, Dídac Vilà has renewed and has the confidence of the technician. As for the exits, in parallel, three sides of the house, Víctor Gómez, Pipa and Pedrosa, could not wear blue and white next year because they could be looking for a new destination for all three.
The rear axle can also undergo many changes and urges reinforcements with face and eyes. Bernardo and Cabrera, the central duo that finished last year, has many numbers of not repeating in Second. They keep raffling ‘Lele’ and it is very difficult for him to continue as a parrot because to the interest and offer of Benfica, Real Sociedad and a Premier club would have joined.
While Bernardo, except for surprise, will not stay Since Espanyol does not bet, in principle, to exercise the purchase option and pay Girona to stay in property at the Colombian central
So things too a pair of centrals must be incorporated of guarantees, then if Cabrera and Bernardo end up dating, after having Naldo left, Moreno would only have Calero and Lluís López to cover the defense axis, apart from homegrown players.
Convincing David López, essential
Included in the policy of trying to reinforce the rear, from the sports management of EspanyoIt will be tried that David López continues in the entity and be one of the referents in the new project of Vicente Moreno.
He captain would welcome to continue, knowing that his file must be lowered to be able to adjust the club to the salary limit and Second Division salaries. Despite everything, it cannot be ruled out that the club is forced to sell it down the stretch, if the required economic parameters have not been met.
