Multiple reliable reports are claiming that Elche are keeping tabs on Juan Cruz, who plies his trade as a defender for CD Leganes. The move is still in the early stages, but interest appears to be growing. While Vallecano have shown interest, Elche currently lead the race - though the situation could evolve if a deal drags on. This season (25/26) Elche have shipped 37 goals in 25 matches - 1.48 a game, which is well above the LaLiga average. Juan Cruz would be expected to come in and help tighten things up at the back.
