José Salinas, a left-back from Elche, whose contract ends on June 30, is one of the top prospects in Segunda División. Espanyol is leading the race to sign him as he could move to Primera División. Espanyol's sporting director, Garagarza, is actively seeking players who can join at no cost, either on loan or with a free transfer, due to limited financial resources. Salinas, being a promising and hungry talent, fits perfectly into Espanyol's strategy of acquiring high-potential players who can deliver immediate performance.
