According to Esports Cope, veteran striker Kike García, who is currently playing for Alavés, has caught the attention of Espanyol. At the age of 36, García is experiencing his most successful elite season with 13 goals, and he has a history of working with Garagarza at Eibar. His contract with Mendizorroza is nearing its end, and Alavés has not renewed it yet, as they are waiting to confirm their league status. Espanyol's sporting director, Garagarza, is keeping a close watch on the situation, with hopes of bringing García into the team without incurring a transfer fee. This aligns with Espanyol's strategy of signing free agents or loan players who can provide immediate impact and have growth potential. García, who is the third top scorer nationally, perfectly fits this profile.
