The Ghana under-23 midfielder has been a revelation in the midfield of the Spanish second-tier club this season after making 15 SmartBank La Liga appearances and scoring one goal. He has since attracted the interest of Braga, Union Berlin ands French Ligue 1 side, Metz.
The Graphic Sports can exclusively reveal that Braga have made a 1.5 Million Euros bid for the central midfielder and talks have already began with Extremadura for his possible release this summer.
Lomotey, 22, joined Extremadura from Dreams FC in 2017 after winning the club’s player of the season award, and has progressed through the under-19 side of the club to the senior team.
