World Sports: Espanyol wants to renew the lease for Spanish U21 striker Roberto, but it is very difficult

"World Sports" reported that the Spaniard wanted to renew the lease for Roberto Fernandez.

Espanyol is fully promoting the reconstruction of the lineup. With the expiration of loans or the end of contracts, the team's strength has been seriously damaged. But there is a name marked red by the key points. Although the operation is extremely difficult, the club will fight to the end to retain striker Roberto Fernandez. Sports director Fran Galagasa made it clear two weeks ago that releasing the forward player is the club's top priority.

Although it is clear that Braga Sports will not let people go easily and that there are many more economically strong clubs chasing the Spanish U21 international, the Spaniard has not given up. What's even more difficult is that Roberto Fernandez's performance continues to heat up, continuing his highlight of Espanyol last season. Just this weekend, he just scored the winning goal for Spain's U21, helping the team win Romania in the European Youth Championship.

This brings bad news to Espanyol. If he continues to perform well in the European Youth Championship, the number of suitors may increase further.

Espanyol did not retreat, and although it was difficult to match the clubs that could directly pay Roberto Fernandez's 45 million euros termination fee, they still hoped for the players' own wishes. The scorer, who is happy both on the team and Barcelona, ​​may be the key to turning the situation around, prompting Braga to consider a new loan plan with a mandatory buyout clause.

Galagasa knows the difficulty of renewing Roberto, but is still stepping up negotiations to provide an alternative to the Portuguese club to ensure that the international team will continue to wear a blue and white shirt next season. This transfer drama has not yet been settled, and the final result remains variable.
