The 24 year old midfielder was supposedly a target for Pompey and Liverpool last Summer, however a move for the player never materialised. It is thought that the two clubs as well as new contenders Man City, have all had scouts keeping track of the player's progress.
He has made 66 appearances for Mallorca since joining in 2005 and has managed 7 goals as well in that time. He has also appeared on 2 occasions for his home nation of Argentina.It is thought that the player will cost between £7 million and £9 million.
