The Moroccan international Omar Al-Hilali has taken center stage in the transfer market in recent hours, after Nottingham Forest, the English club, made an official offer worth 11 million euros with additional incentives to sign the player.

However, the management of Espanyol, the Spanish club, has shown great confidence in its position, relying on the buyout clause in Al-Hilali's contract, which is valued at 25 million euros, giving the club a clear advantage in any potential negotiations.

Espanyol's sporting director, Fran Garagarza, emphasized that the club does not intend to part with any of its key players, confirming that Al-Hilali is a pivotal part of the current and future team project.

Al-Hilali's contract extends until 2027, and he has established himself as one of the standout names in coach Manolo Gonzalez's lineup, thanks to his rapid development and impressive defensive performance, which has made him a target for European clubs.

Despite the temptations coming from England, the high buyout clause and Espanyol's desire to retain their player make it difficult to complete the deal at this time, with expectations that the management will soon move to review his contract and ensure his continued presence for longer years.
