He stated: "We know that it is very important for us, there were movements at the time and there was a break due to the summer transfer market.
"We are going to get back to it, for sure, because he is our captain, a homegrown boy who plays at a high level, we are going to work on renewing him."
The sporting director added: "We are working on a day-to-day basis, especially those contacts that were opened, and that will be opened again, for sure."
Puado's current deal expires in June.
