Roberto Fernández leaving Sporting Braga?
Mundo Deportivo reports on the growing interest in Roberto Fernández from a Premier League club. Roberto Fernández has drawn interest from an unnamed Premier League club, adding to the competition for his signing. This interest highlights his rising profile after a successful season.
RCD Espanyol is interested in retaining Roberto Fernández, who is currently on loan from Sporting de Braga. Espanyol's director of sports, Fran Garagarza, stated that they cannot afford the 10 million euros purchase option set by Braga. The deadline for this option is May 31, after which his release clause will revert to 45 million euros. Roberto Fernández is happy in Barcelona and wishes to stay at Espanyol, but the club's offer has not exceeded four million euros. If a new loan is not agreed by the deadline, other clubs may offer more for his loan and salary.
Roberto Fernández joined RCD Espanyol on loan from Braga in January to help address the team's lack of goals. The loan deal includes a purchase option set at 10 million euros, which Espanyol finds unviable due to their delicate financial situation. They are considering extending his loan, but this is deemed impossible by the player's professional circle. Roberto Fernández is expected to play his last eight matches with Espanyol, having scored three goals and provided one assist in his previous ten matches.
Roberto Fernández, a 22-year-old forward from Sporting Braga, is reportedly in the lead to become a new addition to RCD Espanyol during the current transfer window. Various indications and information suggest his imminent arrival at the club, on loan, until the end of the season. Speculations were further fueled by his partner, Elena Adsuara, liking a comment on social media welcoming them to Barcelona and hoping their stay would be longer than six months.
