Javi Puado, the captain of Espanyol, has not renewed his contract and is now free to negotiate with any club. Girona is one of the clubs interested in signing him. Puado is reportedly considering his options, with a preference to remain at Espanyol if they can offer an attractive project. However, Espanyol is encountering difficulties in presenting a compelling project due to limited investment. Besides Girona, Mallorca, Sevilla, and Trabzonspor have also made inquiries about Puado. It is rumored that Sevilla is particularly interested in reigniting their pursuit and might make a strong bid for him in the summer, as he aligns well with their focus on young, talented Spanish players. Espanyol is still hopeful of retaining Puado and continues to maintain contact with his agents.
