The squad of the first team, according to the entity through its statement, has shown its will and predisposition "to reach a friendly agreement with the club without having to take more drastic labor measures."

Finally, the club stresses that it is a "unique situation and never experienced by society, by football in general, by the professionals of RCD Espanyol and by the parrot family, which we know is suffering" and calls on the unity to "achieve the victory that we all want: to overcome this situation healthy".
