The addition of Kieran Trippier in January and Emil Krafth’s superb form at the end of the campaign means Manquillo has fallen down the pecking order at the club and reports in Spain have linked the 28-year-old with a return to La Liga this summer. Estadio Deportivo report that Cadiz CF are the club interested in Manquillo’s services.
