They are all still working to convince him to accept the switch, something Setien did not deny in today’s press conference.

“We certainly discussed his future, but not for very long,” said the coach.

“There are many circumstances affecting the transfer market this summer, but the reality right now is that we still have objectives to achieve this season and I will need help from everyone in the squad.

“We are in the running for La Liga and the Champions League. I don’t want to speculate right now, as we have to focus on the current challenges.”
