Manager Vincenzo Montella recently dismissed the possibility of signing the Spanish playmaker to replace Riccardo Montolivo, who tore his knee ligaments while on international duty.
He told Italian outlet Corriere della Sera: "We are looking for a player who has the characteristics of Montolivo, who can also play in a midfield two.
