The Espanyol transfer market is on edge. Roberto Fernández, a 24-year-old forward, has scored three goals in the first three LaLiga matches, a number that already equals all the goals he scored during the second half of last season. His start has sparked interest from Hull City, Fiorentina, and Como.

The situation worries Espanyol because Fernández's release clause is set at €25 million, but the Catalan club only controls 62.5% of his economic rights. Therefore, a departure for that amount would not result in the club receiving the full 25 million.

Roberto Fernández sparks interest in the final stretch of the market

Fernández's performance has changed the scenario in just three games. The forward scored a brace against Levante in the first match and scored again against Real Sociedad, reaching three goals in the league.

Hull City had been monitoring the player for weeks and remains among the interested clubs. The English team, newly promoted to the Premier League, has kept Fernández on their radar despite adding other attacking players during this transfer window.

The list has expanded with two Italian suitors. Fiorentina and Como have emerged in the last hours as options for Fernández, although Espanyol has not yet received an offer that would trigger his departure.

Como sees Fernández as part of their offensive choices for the season, while interest from Fiorentina adds another scenario to a future that remains open until the market closes.

Roberto Fernández's clause leaves little margin for Espanyol

Espanyol paid €6.2 million to Sporting de Braga a year ago to acquire 50% of Fernández's economic rights. After meeting the conditions linked to his stay, the club paid another €1.55 million and increased its stake to 62.5%.

This means that a potential execution of the €25 million clause would leave Espanyol with €15.625 million corresponding to their share. With the total investment amounting to €7.75 million, the net income from that operation would be €7.875 million.

The sporting issue adds to the financial one. Kike García is injured, and Javi Puado is also unavailable, so a sale of Fernández would force Espanyol to find a forward with very little time left before the market closes.

Meanwhile, Fernández's camp maintains that he is focused on his season with Espanyol. The forward has a contract and a €25 million clause, but interest from Hull City, Fiorentina, and Como keeps the possibility of a last-minute deal open.

The outcome will come with the market about to close: the window ends at midnight on Tuesday, so Espanyol must know before that moment whether Roberto Fernández will remain in their squad or if any of his suitors will activate the necessary mechanisms to sign him.
