As per the details of his loan switch, Leverkusen have the option to make the deal permanent, with an €8m clause included.

Rayo Vallecano have been linked with a move for Iglesias as part of either a loan or purchase deal in the coming months.

However, as per the latest update from Diario AS, with Leverkusen making their decision, Las Palmas could now make a bid.

Both Rayo and Las Palmas will look to include a player in any possible negotiation to bring Real Betis’ asking price down to closer to €4m.

Iglesias’ current deal at the Estadio Benito Villamarin until 2026 with a transfer valuation of €6m.
