Roberto Fernández joined RCD Espanyol on loan from Braga in January to help address the team's lack of goals. The loan deal includes a purchase option set at 10 million euros, which Espanyol finds unviable due to their delicate financial situation. They are considering extending his loan, but this is deemed impossible by the player's professional circle. Roberto Fernández is expected to play his last eight matches with Espanyol, having scored three goals and provided one assist in his previous ten matches.

Roberto Fernández, a 22-year-old forward from Sporting Braga, is reportedly in the lead to become a new addition to RCD Espanyol during the current transfer window. Various indications and information suggest his imminent arrival at the club, on loan, until the end of the season. Speculations were further fueled by his partner, Elena Adsuara, liking a comment on social media welcoming them to Barcelona and hoping their stay would be longer than six months.
