Cardiff City seem to be very keen on a defender today.
Earlier on Thursday we covered a claim from France that the Welsh club have made a €9m offer for Zeki Çelik. Lille have knocked that offer back, and it was explained Cardiff were unlikely to return because the player doesn’t have an EU passport.
It would appear that after being refused on that track, Cardiff then turned their attention to Spain and Chema Rodriguez.
Chema is a 26 year old Spanish defender currently playing for Levante, and he has a contract lasting until June 2020.
Super Deporte report Cardiff have made an approach for the player, but have been refused.
It’s explained the Premier League club originally wanted a loan, and then continued their efforts for a transfer, but Chema isn’t keen.
Whilst the financial proposal from Cardiff was tempting, he doesn’t fancying being in a relegation battle.
On to the next one.
