According to multiple reports, Juan Cruz is closer than ever to joining Vallecano, with the teams having reached an agreement. The defender, currently with CD Leganes is now discussing personal terms, with both parties aiming to wrap up the deal quickly. While nothing is final yet, it is looking increasingly likely that Juan Cruz will be a Vallecano player imminently. Vallecano remain optimistic, but the deal is not without hurdles. Elche continue to monitor developments and could yet re-enter the race if negotiations stall or valuation gaps remain unresolved. Defensively, Vallecano are sitting around the league average this season, at 1.28 goals conceded per game. Someone like Juan Cruz could keep them steady but also raise the level when it matters most.
