Espanyol has identified Lucas Beltrán, a 24-year-old Argentine-Italian forward, as a target for the next season. Javier de Haro explained that the club has reportedly been planning for the next transfer window for several weeks. Beltrán is currently on loan at Valencia from Fiorentina, with the loan set to end on June 30. Espanyol may try to sign him either on a permanent transfer or another loan, but the operation is considered complex. The forward has a long contract with Fiorentina, who are not expected to let him leave for a low price, meaning any potential negotiations are anticipated to be difficult. In the current LaLiga season, Beltrán has one goal and two assists in 23 appearances. The forward, who has four caps and four goals for Argentina's U23 team, has also been linked with River Plate. According to Transfermarkt, he has a market value of €8.00m.
