Confirmed reports suggest that negotiations over the transfer of Ruben Sanchez Saez are ongoing, with Elche pushing to land the midfielder from Espanyol to strengthen their squad. Discussions are said to be constructive, with the structure of the deal - including add-ons and bonuses - now under consideration, although there is currently no confirmation of an agreed fee for the player. The player is aware of the interest and would reportedly be open to the move, should personal terms be agreed. Until a fee and conditions are finalised, the deal remains vulnerable to disruption - especially if Charlton and PAOK decide to make a formal offer of their own in the coming days. By bringing in Ruben Sanchez Saez, Elche would add another option to balance the squad and support throughout the season. Speculation continues to connect Espanyol with Issiaka Kamate, Unai Nunez and Jan Carlo Simic while no fresh rumours surround Elche. More on this story as it develops.
