RCD Espanyol faces the loss of its star, Marcos Fernández, who could leave the club for a possible transfer to Preston North End. According to a report by Mundo Deportivo, Preston North End is interested in the Spanish player, who has a release clause of 2 million euros.
Fernández, 23, has been one of RCD Espanyol's standout players in the previous season, with 14 goals in the Segunda División. However, his contract with the club has a year left, until June 2028.
The situation is complicated further because Preston North End is not the only club interested in Fernández. Other teams like Real Mallorca, Real Oviedo, Lecce, Estoril and Legia Warsaw are also in the running to sign the Spanish player.
RCD Espanyol is currently in 10th place in La Liga, with 38 points in 31 games, and a goal difference of -11. The previous season, the club lost several key players, including Daniel Jebbison, Michael Smith, Will Keane and Lewis Dobbin.
The situation of RCD Espanyol is complicated further because the club needs to strengthen its attack for the next season. With only 55 goals in the previous season, the club needs to find a player who can score goals and help the team improve its position in the table.
The decision of Fernández to leave RCD Espanyol could have significant consequences for the club, as the Spanish player is one of the team's standout players.
