Juan Pedro Ramírez López, commonly known as Juanpe, made 36 appearances across all competitions for Girona, which includes 31 starts in the league.
AS Catalunya claims Everton and Watford have been following the centre-back ‘closely’ for one year and the Toffees and the Hornets will try to ‘persuade’ him to join them in the summer transfer window.
Following Girona’s relegation from La Liga, several of their players could be heading towards the exit door and the 28-year-old is included in the last.
Last summer, he had the opportunity to leave the club, but decided against making a move away from Montilivi, but after their drop to the second division, the defender wants to leave the Spanish side.
It’s claimed the Merseyside club and Javi Gracia’s side have Juanpe on their agenda and have received good reports regarding the player, even though he didn’t enjoy a remarkable campaign.
The likes of Everton and Watford are willing to pay €7m for the Girona defender, but his employer has not received a formal offer so far.
AS explains Girona are waiting for an offer for Juanpe and are willing to cash in from his sale. They’re aware he’s one of the players who can help bring money to the club.
