Leganes have asked Chelsea to lower their asking price of €7 million (£6.2m) for defender Kenneth Omeruo to €4m (£3.5m) as the Spanish side look to make permanent the defender's move to La Liga, Goal understands.
The Nigeria international is currently preparing for the African Cup of Nations but is also keen on staying in Madrid where he has proved over the course of the 2018-19 term that he can cut it in one of Europe's top five leagues, having already spent time in the Netherlands, Turkey and the Championship in England.
Omeruo has entered the final year of his contract with Chelsea, meaning ex-Southampton boss Mauricio Pellegrino might well get his wish of keeping hold of the full-back turned centre-back. There are, however, thought to be other Spanish clubs closely monitoring the situation.
