Castellon is on the verge of losing its star player, Alex Calatrava, as Espanyol has offered 5 million euros for his transfer. The deal is in its final stages, according to Monchi, Espanyol's sporting director.

What has happened?

Espanyol has been negotiating with Castellon for weeks to bring Calatrava to their team. The offer of 5 million euros is a significant amount for Castellon, which could use the money to strengthen its squad.

Why is it important for Castellon?

Losing Calatrava would be a blow to Castellon, as he is one of their most outstanding players. However, selling the player could allow the team to strengthen its squad and improve its position in the standings.

What comes next?

The deal could be finalized next week, according to Monchi. Castellon and Espanyol are working to finalize the details of the transfer, which could be officially announced in the coming days.
