Sevilla face decisive day as Rubén Vargas talks progress, Mendilibar link could unlock up to three signings | OneFootball

Sevilla enter a pivotal day in the transfer window with Rubén Vargas negotiating a move to Olympiacos, a deal that could shape late business. Up to three additions hinge on the Swiss winger’s future.

ABC de Sevilla reports that talks between Sevilla and Olympiacos, coached by former Sevilla boss José Luis Mendilibar, are expected to reach a conclusion today. Discussions have run for several days, with cautious optimism in Nervión after recent experiences in the Oso case.

The fee is understood to be between 12 and 15 million euros if negotiations do not collapse. Such funds would significantly widen Sevilla’s options in the final hours of the window.

Regardless of the outcome, a third striker is set to arrive, though the profile could change markedly. If Vargas stays, Sevilla would likely add only one player, probably a centre forward on loan.

If a sale is completed, Sevilla could seek a direct replacement for Vargas and the pending centre forward, and José Ignacio Navarro would also have room for another midfielder, a role Luis García Plaza wants strengthened. A centre-back has been requested too, but that move depends on a Marcao exit, which appears unlikely.

Lucien Agoumé is another variable, with strong interest from Arab football, though he is currently reluctant to leave Seville. His decision could further influence the club’s late-window plans.

The resolution will define the next hours in Nervión. A breakthrough would unlock multiple options, failure would sharply limit them.
