Rubén Vargas could stay at Nervión as Olympiacos talks stall | OneFootball

Rubén Vargas could yet remain at Nervión, with Sevilla’s talks with Olympiacos over his sale stalling as the window ticks down. The situation is shaping the club’s final reinforcements for Luis García Plaza’s side.

Informe Morrocotudo reports that the chances of the Swiss international staying are increasing. He has been left out of Sevilla’s squads for the last two LaLiga matches, against Athletic Club and Atlético de Madrid, while the clubs remain apart on the fee.

Sevilla had hoped his departure would release funds for multiple late deals. Olympiacos are pushing to reduce the price, while Sevilla seek to maximise income. A resolution is expected in the coming hours, directly affecting sporting director José Ignacio Navarro’s room for manoeuvre.

The club have already added seven signings and seen 14 players depart from last season, with Rafa Mir and Adrià Pedrosa returning from loans. García Plaza still needs more options to complete the squad as the campaign begins. The priority is a new striker, a deal Sevilla intend to complete regardless of Vargas’s situation.

Further needs include a specialist for the left flank and a pivot. Vargas leaving would ease the financing of several targets. Oso has already said his goodbyes on Sunday to head to Strasbourg, while Fabio Cardoso’s future remains unresolved.
