He said: “In the next market we have the President’s word: we will be allowed to leave.”
The 25-year-old has received glowing reviews in the past and has even been dubbed as the next N’Golo Kante. This season for the French side, he has averaged a massive 3.3 tackles per game as well as 1.5 interceptions, 1.3 shots and 1.1 dribbles per match, via WhoScored.
Santamaria was also subject to a £10m bid from Aston Villa in the January transfer window which Angers rejected, stating that they would like €16m (£14m) instead.
