Wakaso and his representatives met with the club's Board of Directors and Sporting Director Sergio Fernandez over the Ghanaian's departure in the winter transfer window.

Wakaso has already began attracting interest from several teams in the top flight, having previously featured for Las Palmas, Espanyol, Villareal and Granada.
