Rayo Vallecano tell Leganés: Jorge De Frutos is not for sale
The approach was made and the answer came back in a sentence. There is no number on the table because there was no number that would have been enough.

“The easiest signature of my career.” Zico Buurmeester and Leganés agree another 3 years, and the manager can plan around him rather than about him.

One of our own: Javier Ramos joins the Leganés first team

“I pick players who do the work. All of it.” No name was spoken; every camera still turned to Zico Buurmeester, and the manager let it.

Marco Antonio Bueno is a square peg at Leganés
The system has changed and his position has not. A footballer can improve his form; he cannot improve the manager’s formation, and that is the whole of the problem.
