Rafa Mújica’s decision to join Real Oviedo on loan from Leeds United has been a disaster as he’s been given only 132 minutes of action, which includes 50 minutes of action in the league.
The Segunda División side are looking to cut short the striker’s loan stay and the 22-year-old is likely to continue his career in Spain.
On Thursday, La Nueva España reported the Whites player is ‘close to leaving’ Oviedo and there are several second division clubs interested in him.
La Nueva España’s claims have been relayed by La Provincia and the latter now explain the Leeds man is set to join UD Las Palmas on loan for the remainder of the season.
According to the report, Pietro Iemmello will leave Las Palmas and Mújica will replace him at the club.
Cope have also backed up Las Palmas closing in on the frontman and add the Spaniard ‘hopes’ to complete his temporary move today.
The negotiations advanced on Wednesday and the player’s environment are now showing confidence of having an ‘imminent outcome’.
Mújica’s desire was to find a second division club in Spain in the winter market and an impending move to Las Palmas will help him achieve it.
According to Cope, if there are no ‘unexpected setbacks’, the Leeds striker will spend the second half of the season on loan with Las Palmas.
