Felix Uduokhai, a central defender for Besiktas, is among the candidates being considered by Espanyol. According to Monchi, Espanyol is waiting to see if the transfer can be finalized in the next few days. Monchi also expressed a preference for loan deals with a purchase option, stating that it would be perfect if all operations could be conducted in this manner.

Turkish journalist Ertan Süzgün reported that Espanyol will soon present an official proposal to Besiktas for the signing of central defender Felix Uduokhai, moving from initial interest to a formal offer. The same source also reported that Besiktas is open to Felix Uduokhai's departure to reduce their wage bill. According to Süzgün, Uduokhai would need to lower his salary demands, as his current high wages are a significant obstacle for Espanyol's salary cap. Separately, in an interview with Pericos on Radio Marca, Espanyol's director of football, Monchi, confirmed that Felix Uduokhai is a player they are considering. However, Monchi stated that the operation is neither advanced nor imminent. He added that Felix is a good player whom he knows from the player's time playing in Germany, and described him as just one of many names linked to the club.

According to Fichajes, LaLiga club Espanyol holds an interest in the 28-year-old German centre-back Felix Uduokhai and has received official information about him from his club, Beşiktaş.

In addition to interest from Schalke 04 and Werder Bremen, it is reported that Espanyol has also placed the player on their transfer list. The Beşiktaş management does not want to incur a significant financial loss from his sale and will approve his departure only if an offer meeting their expectations is received.
