Espanyol continues planning ambitiously for its squad for the upcoming season and has already closed one of the most outstanding deals in the Second Division market. José Salinas, the current player of Elche and considered the best left-back in the category, will wear the blue and white shirt starting next summer. The Catalan club's sports management has managed to outmaneuver other suitors and convinced the player to join RCDE Stadium.

Espanyol's First Signing for the Next Season

At just 24 years old, Salinas has become a key player in Elche's setup, providing both defensive solidity and offensive depth on the left flank. His potential has attracted interest from several top clubs, but it was Espanyol that made the swiftest move. His contract situation, ending in June, facilitated the operation, allowing Espanyol to secure the signing at no transfer cost.

The agreement represents a strategic move for a team looking to reinforce itself with proven pieces and experience in the category. Salinas brings not only youth but also consistency, character, and knowledge of the league. His arrival is seen as a firm step towards the goal of remaining in La Liga with a competitive and ambitious squad.

Within the player's circle, the sports project offered by the Barcelona club is highly valued, as well as the opportunity to continue growing in a team with clear aspirations. In Elche, his departure will be keenly felt but accepted given the impossibility of retaining a player who has chosen to take a step forward in his career.
