Angel Fortuno, who wants to earn his place in the first team, is clear that he would never have done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Joan Garcia has been one of the big names of the summer. Espanyol knew he was going to leave the team, but what they didn&#8217;t expect was that he would go to their biggest rivals, Barcelona, a decision that hasn&#8217;t gone down well. Angel Fortuno, the goalkeeper who is destined to replace him, is clear that he would never have done it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ve been a &#8216;Perico&#8217; since I was a child. We are here and we will always be here. I&#8217;d rather go to Jupiter than play for Barca,&#8221; said the Espanyol goalkeeper, who will be in the first team in the 2025-26 season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Fortuno appeared on journalist Javier de Haro&#8217;s Twitch channel in the middle of pre-season with Manolo Gonzalez&#8217;s team. Now, he has to fight for a starting place with Marko Dmitrovic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&#8220;He is a top person. He doesn&#8217;t get nervous and helps both Pol and me&#8221;, he said of his new teammate, with whom he will have to earn his minutes during the season.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>He also acknowledged that he could have gone out on loan, but preferred to stay in the squad: &#8220;The best thing was to be here and learn from what there is, like Diego Lopez or Fernando Pacheco&#8221;.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Joan Garcia&#8217;s departure to Barcelona has caused perplexity within Espanyol.
