Álex Forés from Villarreal has been identified as a potential reinforcement for Espanyol. He would join on loan from the 'groguet' club, with which Espanyol maintains good relations. However, there is currently nothing concrete or in progress, and any developments are expected by the end of the month. Espanyol is navigating financial constraints that necessitate new players arriving on loan or without cost, as the club's ownership has restricted spending. The team's current focus is on strengthening its midfield and attack, which have been problematic due to a lack of creativity and scoring. The potential acquisition of Forés aligns with Espanyol's strategy of seeking players who can provide immediate impact without incurring transfer fees.
