Deportivo La Coruna eager for Stoke to drop Joselu price

Deportivo La Coruna are eager to close a deal for Stoke City striker Joselu.

Deportivo are keen to wrap up Joselu's permanent switch to Spain after he capped an impressive comeback with two goals against Real Madrid.

La Voz de Galicia says the Joselu case is complicated because he has two years left on his contract and Stoke don't seem willing to move from their negotiating position.

When he joined on loan in the summer Deportivo had tried to insert a buy-out clause but the British club refused.

The problem is that Stoke signed him (from Hanover) for £6m and does not seem willing to lower his price tag. Stoke are also currently having to contribute to pay his wages.
