Leganés FC & Juan Cruz: Deal Done! Will He Stay or Will He Go?
The future of Juan Cruz at Leganés FC has been a hot topic, dominating headlines and discussions. Speculation has been rife about whether the Argentinian attacker would remain with the club. However, recent developments suggest a strengthening of the relationship between player and club.
Cruz's Future: Clarity Emerging
Leganés manager, Paco López, addressed the media ahead of the crucial match against Deportivo de La Coruña, inevitably facing questions about Juan Cruz. López stated firmly, "I can't imagine anything other than him staying." This comes amidst reports of a potential move away for Cruz, making the manager's comments all the more significant.
Despite previous tensions and speculation, Cruz has been training normally with the team. López emphasized, "Juan Cruz is a Leganés player. He's training with complete normality. He has been for some time. Nothing else enters my head."
Contractual Improvements and Extension
Adding to the positive news, C.D. Leganés and Juan Cruz have reached an agreement to update his contractual terms. This understanding represents an improvement and a step forward for both the player and the club, thereby strengthening the trust and existing bond.
Furthermore, both parties have agreed to extend the contract by an additional season at the end of its current term if C.D. Leganés participates in LALIGA EA SPORTS in the 28/29 season. This shows a long-term commitment from both sides.
Cruz's Impact on Leganés
Juan Cruz, born in Quilmes 25 years ago, joined Leganés in January 2024 from Real Betis. Since then, he has established himself as an important player in the squad, making a decisive contribution to the promotion to the First Division and defending the pepinera jersey in the top tier. To date, he has accumulated 55 matches and 12 goals as a blanquiazul.
So, it looks like Juan Cruz is set to stay. But as López cautioned, the transfer window is still open. The final decision on the squad list will be made after tomorrow's match. For now, Leganés fans can breathe a sigh of relief; their star attacker appears to be staying put.
