Dimata permanently to Espanyol?

TRANSFERS Espanyol Barcelona is sure of promotion to La Liga, the Spanish first division. In principle, Espanyol should automatically lift the purchase option on Landy Dimata.


In 2018-2019 Dimata was first rented from Wolfsburg and he played a convincing season so Anderlecht quickly lifted the purchase option. But at the end of February, Dimata was seriously injured and that injury would eventually keep him off the field for about a year and a half. Dimata started strongly this season, but then he was mainly substitute of Nmecha.

During the winter mercato, Anderlecht leased the striker to Espanyol and a purchase option was also in the agreement. In case of promotion, it should be automatically lifted. Anderlecht would still receive 2.2 million of the 5 million it paid for Dimata at the time. It is then relieved of a high wage.
