Three teams from Spain are interested in Pumas' 30-year-old Spanish defender Rubén Duarte. The interested clubs are Sevilla and Osasuna from the First Division, along with Almería from the second tier. While these clubs have made inquiries about the defender, there is still no formal offer for him. Duarte wants to go back to Spain, a desire stemming from a personal wish to return to his country rather than any dissatisfaction at his current club. Pumas is reportedly open to facilitating a transfer, partly because the player has one year remaining on his contract and a sale would align with the club's objective to renew its central defense. A potential move to Sevilla is connected to their new head coach, Luis García Plaza, who previously managed Duarte at Alavés where the defender was his captain. This existing relationship could be a factor in any potential negotiation. Although formal talks have not yet begun, Pumas is aware that they could start at any moment. The former Spain U21 international, who has 9 caps, has a current market value of €2.30m, according to Transfermarkt.
