Monchi's signing with RCD Espanyol has become one of the most talked-about moves in the upcoming transfer market. The former sporting director of Sevilla FC, a team that recently faced the Catalan club, arrives at the RCDE Stadium during a period of uncertainty for the club, which is still fighting to secure its place in the First Division for the 2026/2027 season.
Following the official announcement of his arrival at Espanyol, Monchi shared a statement on his social media. In it, he thanked the club's president for making his move possible and emphasized that he is joining a place where he has felt "affection from minute one" and where his "work philosophy" has been valued. These statements, further detailed in a press release from CD San Fernando 1940, also highlight the respect for his role as president of that club.
“"I am going to the place where they have shown me their affection from minute one, where they have valued my work philosophy and, above all, where they have respected my position as President of CDSF 1940."
Monchi's statement also appealed to the supporters of CD San Fernando, asking them not to doubt his connection to the club. He expressed his full confidence in the working group and the "family" formed by the islanders, assuring that he will continue to contribute as much as possible, whether from San Fernando or Barcelona, and proudly representing his sports club. This message has generated extensive debate among Sevilla FC fans.
