Blackburn Rovers manager Gary Bowyer has reportedly decided that he would like Ruben Rochina to be part of his squad next season.
The Spaniard's future at Ewood Park appeared to be in the balance when he joined Real Zaragoza on a loan basis in January this year.
However, Zaragoza are unlikely to make the move a permanent one following their relegation from La Liga, which has left them unable to meet the reported £3m asking price for the 22-year-old.
Despite having lost his place in the Blackburn team when Michael Appleton was in charge, Bowyer has been impressed with the striker during his time at the club, according to the Lancashire Evening Telegraph.
He joined Rovers in 2011 from Barcelona.
