Espanyol is preparing to face a significant loss in their squad. The imminent departure of Joan García, a goalkeeper who has been crucial in recent months, has forced the white-and-blue club to act swiftly in the market. Everything indicates that the young goalkeeper will pack his bags for Barcelona, where the Blaugrana club is willing to pay his release clause, estimated at 25 million euros, to incorporate him into their team for the next five seasons.

Leo Román could replace Joan García

Given this situation, the leaders of Espanyol have already started evaluating names to strengthen the goalkeeping position. Among the options being considered by the sports management, one figure is starting to stand out: Leo Román. Despite being a substitute at Mallorca, the goalkeeper has shown reliability whenever he has had the chance to guard the goal. His young profile, with potential and experience in La Liga, fits the type of investment that Espanyol usually makes.

The contractual and sporting situation of the Mallorcan goalkeeper also favors the interests of the Catalan club. Leo is seeking playing time and consistency, something he is not finding at Son Moix. The opportunity to land at Cornellà-El Prat as a key piece in the project, with almost guaranteed starting role, is viewed positively by the player himself, who sees this move as a step forward in his career.

Espanyol does not want to delay the operation too much. The goal is to secure the new goalkeeper as soon as possible so that he can join the preseason from the beginning. Leo Román leads the preferences list and, barring unexpected twists, could soon become the new reference in the Espanyol goal.
