According to SER Deportivos Valencia, Levante is working to close the loan of Thiago Fernández for this season. At present, there is no place for Thiago Fernández at Villarreal as the non-EU quota is full, and Villarreal would be open to the player continuing in the First Division on a loan. Levante had previously been interested in Thiago Fernández during the last winter transfer window, but signed Tay Abed instead as they were unable to sell Kervin Arriaga and thus could not free up a non-EU spot.
