According to writer and former club director Robert Hernando, Espanyol are in advanced negotiations to acquire 30-year-old Spanish midfielder Aleix Febas from Elche. The midfielder's contract with Elche expires in June and he has not renewed, which would make him available on a free transfer. His strong performances this season have led to interest from several other teams, but discussions with Espanyol are reportedly advanced and an agreement is considered close. The potential signing is part of Espanyol's planning for the next season under the new project led by owner Alan Pace. Febas joined Elche in July 2023 and has 1 goal and 7 assists in 2 LaLiga appearances this season; his current market value is listed at €4.00m by Transfermarkt.
