He said from the La Roja camp: “It's true that we had read something, we didn't know if it was official or not.
"I think he has been a very important and fundamental piece for La Real to grow, so that all these years together with (president Jokin) Aperribay and Imanol (Alguacil) the club has gone up.
"He is still with us and we are going to try together to continue as we have in recent years.”
