Rubén Sánchez is likely to leave Espanyol after his situation at the club changed significantly in recent days, shifting him from a regular squad member to a probable departure. Clubs such as Valencia, Torino, and Venezia have shown interest in the 25-year-old Spanish full-back's situation. The manager, Manolo, has reportedly made his decision, and the player's future now seems to depend on the performance of a youth team player, José Ángel, and the club's ability to sign a replacement. Sánchez's position became clearer when he did not play any minutes in a match against Burnley, while his positional competitors did. Sánchez joined Espanyol in July 2022 and has a contract until 2027. His current Transfermarkt market value is €1.80m.
