Espanyol sign the Catalan striker who tormented Catalans

Barcelona Espanyol had to wait until August 15, once the League had started, to be able to announce the first signing of the season. This is Pere Milla, a footballer who left Elche and who, at the age of 30, will become an offensive reinforcement for a team that is fighting to return to the First Division.

His signing was a public secret, although it was not finalized until this Tuesday. The transfer figures have not been made official, but white-and-blue sources place it at around 2.5 million euros. His contract is for four seasons, until 2027. Without Joselu, who has left for Real Madrid, and with the doubt of whether or not Braithwaite will remain at Espanyol, Luis García’s team will have a veteran player and experienced

It doesn’t have to be the only one. Espanyol, suffocated by fair play financial, took a breather with the departure of Sergi Darder, who left around 7 million in the Periquita treasury. As the coach advanced after the premiere in the League, with a draw in Albacete, more urgent reinforcements will come. Pere Milla is the first.

The player, born in Lleida, has been linked to Espanyol since he was a child, according to what the club wanted to highlight through a tweet on Twitter. But it is the same social networks that show their support for Real Madrid. As a sample, messages he sent a decade ago, with the hashtag #halamadrid, applauding Madrid’s victories to the detriment of Barça. In fact, on multiple occasions he has shown his predilection for the Chamartín club.

They also have a bad memory of it in Girona, as a goal by Pere Milla in the final of play-off of promotion in 2020 left Girona without promotion in a controversial final that ended up promoting Elche.
