SCORENigeria can authoritatively report that Kenneth Omeruo will stay put at relegated CD Leganes despite rife speculations about his future.
Several La Liga clubs as well as clubs in Turkey, where the player has previously played on loan, were interested in having the experienced central defender on loan, but Leganes would rather sell him permanently.
SCORENigeria first reported that the Madrid club even put a price tag of 7.5 million Euros on the Nigeria international.
Last summer, they bought him for five million Euros from Premier League club Chelsea after a successful loan spell.
He signed a five-year contract.
The immediate target for both Omeruo and Leganes will now be to make an instant return to the Spanish top flight by the end of this season.
