€30m Saudi sale could unlock Rui Borges outcast's Sporting exit | OneFootball

Giorgi Kochorashvili remains a priority for Sevilla in midfield, but Sporting’s demands have held up the deal. The Lions want to recoup the €5.5 million invested in signing the Georgian from Levante and have not accepted a loan deal.

According to the newspaper A Bola, the situation could change if Sevilla manage to sell Lucien Agoumé to Neom. The Saudi club is willing to invest between €25 million and €30 million in the midfielder, a deal that would give the Andalusians far greater financial leeway to enter the market.

The decision, however, depends on Agoumé himself. The 24-year-old player has doubts about such an early move to Saudi Arabia, but a possible transfer would allow Sevilla to move closer once again to La Liga’s 1:1 rule and increase their spending power.

In that scenario, the Spanish club would be in a better position to move forward with a permanent signing of Kochorashvili. Sporting have already rejected the possibility of a loan with an option to buy and remain intent on making a sale that would allow them to recover the investment made in the 27-year-old midfielder.
