He is one of the most fashionable footballers in the league, and Luis Enrique has included Espanyol's Mario Hermoso in the next Spain squad list, so it's no wonder that Real Madrid are interested in his services and intend to exercise their option on him in January.
Los Blancos can purchase the player for 7.5 million euros, and because they are still awaiting a fully fit Jesus Vallejo, and can see just what competition Hermoso would bring, it appears to be a deal that will be executed.
Nothing is decided as yet, mind.
Espanyol's position
Espanyol don't want to sell because Hermoso is a key player, but owner, Chen Yansheng, needs money to balance the accounts.
There are other clubs closely following the spectacular progression of the centre-back, including Arsenal.
He's a player that Unai Emery really likes and he's watched him on more than one occasion.
Formed in La Fabrica
Trained at La Fabrica and with Sergio Ramos as an example, he joined Espanyol in the summer of 2017 from Castilla, and after spending a year on loan at Valladolid.
It was a very risky operation for the entity of Cornella as the defender had never played in the Spanish top flight, but his impudence soon saw him win a regular spot under Quique.
Now Rubi has brought out the best of Hermoso.
He has played and completed every minute in the league this season and has two goals.
The Catalans have only conceded eight goals, and the prize of the national team call up has just arrived.
It reminds us of Marco Asensio, who had been the last Periquito to enter a Spain squad a couple of years ago, and before Kiko Casilla.
Both, in fact, ended up at Madrid after their call ups.
The defender, however, prefers not to think about Real right now.
"Our football is very attractive and we have an exceptional group, it doesn't even cross my mind right now," he said to MARCA.
"One of my characteristics has always been to be very ambitious, I do not like to put on or put a ceiling on what I can achieve.
"I have always believed in myself and in my qualities."

The repechages do not usually work in the real nausea, it was seen with Vallejo, paquetazo, Morata, Mariano, etc ... Beautiful will not be an exception.
It’s not just about the team, any guy they get back they always resell them and make good money!!

I do not understand so many crying. Here it rages even because the madrid repesque his homegrown. We go as if the boat did not do it with Pique in his day ... Football is like that. Very good management putting these clauses to these kids. With Carvajal, Odriozola, Varane, Hermoso, Javi Sanchez and Reguilón there is a defense for years. So you can focus on signing a good 9 and maybe the season does not end so badly.

That of the repechage will be if he wants. Because to end up on the bench and not play is going to stay at Espanyol Or also to resell it. It's smart and that's what will make it stay.

I repeat The madrid has gone from signing to James kovacic modric to Spanishize the team with illarramendis, llorentes, Theos, Vázquez, Odriozolas Vallejos and other packages that are not worth for the team and much less for Madrid. Then some pulling their hair to be 15 points from the boat every December. No Spanish gives the stature in Madrid. Those who would give the size no longer exist (xavi iniesta squares Puyol villa Alonso ...)

Hermoso is a piece of central and Madrid must sign him this summer. Vallejo should have left on loan, take minutes and confidence, you can still see that he lacks layers to burn. Ramos also has a certain age and Varane is not in his finest phase.

Madrid urgently need a center (in addition to a striker ...), and this kid paints very, very well. And of price to say ... 7.5 million, this gift.

Why are you going to sign it if Ramos will continue to break noses by decree? Here until Floripondio is evicted his proteges do not even touch the bench.

It seems that it is a crime to leave a cover story that is not from Madrid or Barça for more than 1 hour

He is not going to go in January, he will not want to leave Espanyol lying down and go to warm up the bench (and more taking into account that Espanyol will be fighting for high places). In summer it will be another story.
