Mundo Deportivo has reported that Espanyol is interested in signing Leo Román, but the operation is deemed difficult due to competition from other clubs. The sporting director, Fran Garagarza, acknowledged that although Espanyol is eager to acquire the Mallorca goalkeeper, who has impressed with his performances, the transfer is complicated by the interest from major clubs such as Atlético de Madrid, Genoa, and Copenhague. Despite these challenges, Espanyol remains vigilant in their pursuit of Román as they seek to strengthen their goalkeeping position in anticipation of potential departures from their current roster.
