Espanyol's secret weapon to strengthen their attack d6i61

Espanyol is in search of a forward to strengthen its attack and has set its sights on Irvin Cardona. According to L’Équipe, the Catalan club is negotiating with Augsburg for the incorporation of the French forward, who could arrive on loan with a purchase option.

Cardona, 26 years old, is under contract with Augsburg until 2027, but in the second half of last season, he played on loan at Saint-Étienne in Ligue 2, where he stood out by scoring 10 goals in 22 matches, decisively contributing to the club's promotion to Ligue 1. This outstanding performance has drawn the attention of Espanyol, which sees him as a solution to their forward line issues.

González's words after the narrow victory over Huesca (1-0) seemed to speed up the club's efforts to complete Cardona's g, who is shaping up as a key addition in the coach's 3-4-3 system.

Espanyol hopes that Cardona will bring the versatility and goal-scoring instinct he demonstrated in , where he also added three assists to his personal tally. Despite his good performance at Saint-Étienne, Augsburg would not object to another loan for the forward due to his high wages, making a return to Ligue 1 complicated.
