Benjamin Pauwels is on his way from the Netherlands to Madrid to complete medical examinations and finalize his signing with Leganés. This move aims to replace Diomande, who has transferred to RB Leipzig for 20 million euros, and possibly Juan Cruz, who might depart if an offer of approximately 10 million euros is received. The transfer fee for Pauwels is anticipated to be under one million euros. Pauwels, a speedy and talented 20-year-old winger, was part of SC Cambuur last season, where he managed to score 4 goals and deliver 8 assists. He was nurtured in the Gent academy before transferring to Beerschot VA, where he launched his professional career and secured promotion to the First Division.
