Roca has been the subject of past interest from Bayern, who had a bid rejected last summer. However, with Espanyol’s relegation from La Liga, circumstances have changed and the Spanish club needed to relieve strain on their wage bill.
Atletico Madrid also held talks with Espanyol this summer, but sources told ESPN they never came close to an agreement given their financial issues. Atleti viewed Roca as a potential replacement for Thomas Partey, should the Ghanaian leave the club.
