Ghana international midfielder Derek Boateng could play in the Spanish La Liga next season with Eibar if he remains with the club.

Eibar have been saved from relegation into the Segunda Division after Elche FC were demoted for non-payment of taxes.

The La Liga governing body - Liga de Futbol Profesional (LFP) on Friday announced a ruling from a Spanish court which declared Elche must drop down to the Segunda Division next season and pay a fine of 180,303.63.

Boateng joined Eibar at the start of the season but could only manage to play 13 games for the side and was set to quit the club for a new adventure in the Scandinavian region.

But withe the club set to remain in the Spanish top-flight for next season, Boateng could remain at the club.

The 32-year-old former Fulham, Gatefe and FC Koln midfielder might still leave the club if they decide against him remaining at the club for next term.
