Sevilla departure imminent hours before trip to Athletic Club | OneFootball

Sevilla are preparing for their league meeting at Athletic Club amid late-window movement, with Rubén Vargas omitted as an exit nears. According to Superdeporte, head coach Luis García Plaza has left the Swiss forward out of the squad for Bilbao because a transfer is almost complete.

García Plaza was clear about the decision, noting the league is ongoing and Vargas is close to leaving. He said the risk of an injury on the trip could jeopardise the player, the transfer and any replacement.

Greek side Olympiacos are leading the race to sign the Swiss international.

The move is considered important for Sevilla to raise cash and create room under their salary cap in the final stretch of the summer window.

Sevilla face Athletic Club in Bilbao within hours, with Vargas not travelling.
