“The intention of the Leganés is to continue and negotiate his pass with Chelsea,” the paper reports.
“The club pepinero offers about four million euros , still far from the six that the English club intends, but everything points to the negotiation depends on the intention of the player who, for what he has shown to the Technical Secretariat of Leganés, is continue in Butarque,” it continued.
The defender who was on loan to Leganes played 28 games last season.
He has also enjoyed loan spells at at ADO Den Haag, Middlesbrough, Kasimpasa and Alanyaspor since arriving at Chelsea in 2012.
