RCD Espanyol has achieved a masterful operation with the signing of Urko González, who has increased his value by 700% in over a year and a half. The incorporation of the Vitorian midfielder has become one of the most profitable bets of the blanquiazul entity in recent years. Fran Garagarza, the main advocate for his signing, insisted with tenacity on the signing of a player who, despite his talent, did not find the necessary minutes in Real Sociedad, his original club. The player's progression since his arrival in Barcelona is simply spectacular if we look at the figures managed by the market. When the player began his stint as a perico, his valuation was around 1.5 million euros, a figure that has risen to 12 million today, as highlighted by AS. This percentage increase, which approaches 700% of revaluation in over a year and a half, according to Transfermarkt, the reference website for football player valuation. It is confirmed that the player has reached the competitive maturity that coaches saw in him. This reality is reflected on the pitch, where he has become an indispensable pillar for Manolo González, accumulating 36 games this season and demonstrating a regularity that has made him almost unmovable in the coach's schemes. The club made a payment of around four million euros to secure his services in property, leaving a future profit margin for the Donostian entity. With a contract extended until 2030, RCD Espanyol has a top-level asset to face the upcoming courses.
