Leeds United are one of the clubs interested in the Elche right-back Juan Cruz, according to claims from Spain today.
Outlet AS brings a long story on the player, claiming he’s having the best season of his career and attracting the eyes of several sides.
Real Mallorca, Osasuna, Real Valladolid, Getafe and Real Betis are some of the clubs who’d like to keep the player in Spain, while there’s a Greek club willing to sign him as well.
Regarding the Elland Road side, it’s claimed that ‘Victor Orta’s Leeds’ have been following the 27-year-old very closely.
Elche are said to be evaluating the possibility of selling Juan Cruz in the summer. But there’s not a lot they can do since he has a release clause of €4m, which would double to €8m in case the club get promotion to the first division.
The 27-year-old has only one more year of contract with the La Liga side, and that’s one more season why taking him doesn’t sound like a difficult job for Leeds United.
