La Liga
The future of Leo Román seems to be moving away from Mallorca. The young goalkeeper, at just 24 years old, has seen his progression stagnate due to the lack of opportunities in the Balearic team. Despite his potential, the limited role in the squad has led the goalkeeper to seek a change of scenery. In this scenario, Espanyol emerges as the most likely destination, as the Catalan club considers it a priority to incorporate a reliable replacement for Joan García.
Espanyol already knows the price to pay for Leo Román
The interest of the "perico" team in the Ibiza-born goalkeeper is based on both sporting and economic reasons. The sports management of Espanyol sees in Leo a young profile with potential, experience in La Liga, and ambition that fits their new project. Although his release clause exceeds 10 million euros, the fact that his contract runs until 2026 has compelled Mallorca to lower their economic demands to avoid a free departure later on.
The amount being considered to finalize the operation is around six million euros, a sum that Espanyol would be willing to assume to strengthen a position that needs more competition. Furthermore, the player's willingness to join the "blanquiazul" team is total, aware that he could find the continuity he has lacked at Son Moix during the past season. Talks between both clubs are active, and an agreement seems close.
In Cornellà, Leo Román's arrival is viewed as a safe bet to raise the level between the posts. The coaching staff appreciates his reflexes, maturity despite his youth, and ability in aerial play. Everything indicates that his time in the Balearic Islands is close to ending to begin a new chapter in Catalonia.
