Former Newcastle United defender Federico Fernandez is set to become a free agent.
That’s according to recent reports, which claim the 33-year-old centre-back, who joined Elche in La Liga on deadline day in the summer, has failed to impress, despite being with the Spaniards for just three months.
Having played just once during that time, it is clear that manager Jorge Almiron is not a big fan of the former Magpie.
