Leganés turn down Real Sociedad for Roberto López
The offer was not close and it was refused without much discussion. Whether the second one is refused as quickly is another matter.

Benjamin Pauwels signs on for more
“Some decisions take a long time. This one took ten minutes, and most of that was finding a pen.” Benjamin Pauwels and Leganés agree another 4 years.

7 new faces, and Leganés are still learning each other
A squad rebuilt inside one window pays for it in a currency nobody budgets for. The football is not worse than the sum of the players; it is worse than the sum of the players who have played together before.
