Marcos Fernández has attracted interest from multiple clubs following strong performances and due to his contract status. His performances include scoring 14 goals during a loan spell at Ceuta. Espanyol has received more than 10 approaches from clubs willing to pay his current two-million-euro release clause, with Preston North End, Mallorca, Real Oviedo, Lecce, Estoril, and Legia de Varsovia being among the interested parties. Espanyol's position is that the 23-year-old will not depart. The club holds an option to raise his release clause to eight million euros by doubling his salary, which would prevent a transfer at the current price.
