Deportivo La Coruna will offer Canadian midfielder Julian de Guzman a new contract within the next few weeks.
The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to Tottenham in recent weeks and the Premier League club have had scouts in Spain to watch the midfielder in action.
De Guzman’s current contract expires at the end of the season.
“We do not have any formal news,” a club spokesman told skysports.com. “Our objective is to have a meeting with the player in the next few weeks and to offer him a new deal.”
De Guzman was quoted in AS last week as saying: “I’m meeting with my agent in two or three weeks to talk about my future, whether at Depor or at another team.
“For me, it would be best to renew as soon as possible. If this whole process reached January, I would go through a rather awkward situation because there would be six months when I could sign for another club, but would continue playing for Deportivo.”
He added: “I know the (financial) aspect is important in my new contract, but I believe that to give the best of myself as a footballer, I have to defend the club that I carry in my heart and it is Depor at the moment.
“I want to continue with this team because I’ve enjoyed my best experience in football here and, besides, I love Spain and La Coruna in particular.”
