Brian Oliván's contract will automatically renew with Espanyol if he plays at least 45 minutes in nine more matches. The contract stipulates a renewal upon playing 20 matches, and Oliván has played eleven so far. He started as a substitute for Carlos Romero but has recently secured a starting position, playing consecutively in the last five matches as a left-back. If he continues to play regularly, his renewal with Espanyol is expected.
