Marca has reported on Iker Losada's imminent loan move to Espanyol, stating that he is very close to joining the team on loan. The 23-year-old midfielder, who hails from Catoira and was developed in Celta de Vigo's youth system, was acquired by Betis for nearly 2 million EUR a year ago but has not been given much playing time under Manuel Pellegrini. His ability to play both as an attacking midfielder and on either wing is seen as providing the offensive quality that Espanyol has been lacking in the first half of the season.

Iker Losada, an attacking midfielder who has faced challenges in securing a regular spot under Pellegrini due to the intense competition in Betis's midfield, is rumored to be a suitable candidate for Espanyol. However, these remain mere speculations at this point, with no confirmed progress. The transfer market for Espanyol is progressing slowly, and it is anticipated that any new acquisitions, including any potential interest in Losada, are unlikely to be finalized until the closing days of the transfer window, barring any unforeseen developments. Espanyol is currently dealing with financial limitations, necessitating that any new player joins on a loan or at no cost, as they focus on enhancing creativity and goal-scoring ability in their quest for new players.
