Marcos Fernández, aged 23, has drawn interest from multiple clubs due to his recent performance and a contract clause for his release valued at two million euros. Espanyol has received more than 10 approaches from clubs willing to pay the clause, and among the interested parties are Lecce, Mallorca, Real Oviedo, Preston North End, Estoril, and Legia de Varsovia. Espanyol's response has been that Fernández will not leave. The club has the option to increase his release clause to eight million euros by doubling his salary. Following an injury to another forward, the club is reportedly being pushed to make this move, an action that would end the risk of his departure.
