Juan is currently on a season long loan from French club Monaco but Royle told TWTD that he is in talks with the French club to make the deal permanent: "We're still trying, we're still talking. They haven't said yes and they haven't said no, and you honestly know as much as me now.
"He wants to stay here, he's very happy here and his progress has been one of the big plusses of the season, we're delighted with Jimmy."
No figures have yet been put into the public domain but ITFM understands that a deal could be done for around £300,000.
