Joan García has been one of the standout names for Espanyol this season. The young goalkeeper has delivered top-level performances that have put him on the radar of several La Liga clubs and even some European entities who see him as a top goalkeeper project. His performance has been so outstanding that, barring a surprise, his departure from the perico side seems increasingly close and could represent a historic figure for the Catalan entity in terms of selling a goalkeeper.

At just 23 years old, Joan has shown maturity, security, and reflexes that have not gone unnoticed. His consistency and leadership in goal have been decisive factors in keeping Espanyol competitive at key moments in the championship. But beyond the accolades, the club is aware that retaining him will be difficult and they are already working towards the future, knowing that losing such talent requires immediate planning.

Leo Román, potential replacement for Joan García

In this scenario, the name of Leo Román has gained prominence. At 24 years old, the Mallorca goalkeeper has shown great skills whenever he has had playing time, despite living in the shadow of the starter. His confidence in aerial plays, reaction capacity, and composure in demanding moments have convinced Espanyol's sports management, who see him as the ideal replacement if Joan finally packs his bags.

Leo's profile fits the club's recruitment strategy: young, with room for growth and experience in the elite. His signing could also be affordable compared to other market options, and his desire to take a step forward in his career could facilitate the operation if Espanyol decides to go for him.
