Espanyol has expressed a strong interest in acquiring Jon Morcillo, a left-winger currently playing for Albacete. Reports from Ángel García, known as 'Cazurreando', and Radio Marca Albacete suggest that Espanyol is currently leading the race to sign the player. Morcillo, who has a contract with Albacete until 2026, was a standout performer last season, scoring 9 goals. Although Albacete has pointed to his release clause and officially declared that they will not enter into negotiations, there is a possibility that Espanyol could still secure the player's transfer if they pursue him with determination. The 26-year-old has become a vital member of Albacete's squad, significantly contributing to their achievements in both the League and Cup competitions last season. Despite Albacete's firm position against negotiating, the open transfer window for the next few weeks allows for the chance of new developments, especially if Espanyol maintains their interest in Morcillo.
