According to Sport, Espanyol striker Roberto Fernández has again been left out of Spain's 23-man squad for the UEFA Nations League match against Croatia.

The Córdoba-born striker was previously excluded from Spain's match at Wembley against England last Saturday and will not make his senior national team debut at Sánchez-Pizjuán against Croatia.

Roberto Fernández's initial call-up had generated considerable anticipation. He started the season in excellent form, scoring six goals in the first six matches, earning his first call-up to Spain's senior national team. However, his time with Spain's squad so far has been limited to training and traveling with the team.

This situation directly impacts Espanyol's finances. Spain coach De la Fuente's call-up alone will not change the economic clauses in the striker's contract; his release clause will only increase if Roberto plays for Spain's senior national team.

Roberto's current release clause stands at €25 million. If he plays for Spain's senior national team, this figure would rise to €30 million. Since Roberto has not played in any match during this international break, his release clause remains €25 million.

This matters significantly for Espanyol. During the previous transfer window, the club evaluated interest from other clubs in Roberto. Hull City submitted an offer for Roberto, but Espanyol ultimately rejected it, as confirmed by Monchi in his transfer window summary press conference.
