Sevilla dealt potential transfer blow | OneFootball

La Liga outfit Sevilla have late this week been dealt a potential blow on the transfer front.

This comes amid confirmation that an alleged leading target on the part of the Andalusian outfit is now increasingly likely to stay put with his current club.

The player in question? Nicolás Tagliafico.

Defender Tagliafico has seen his name persistently linked with that of Sevilla over the last couple of weeks.

This comes amid the understanding that, amid an ongoing search for reinforcements at left-back, the Argentine international has been earmarked as a market opportunity.

Tagliafico’s contract terms with Olympique Lyonnais expired at the end of last month, with the French giants’ shock relegation to Ligue 2 for financial reasons having made his exit look a near certainty.

As alluded to above, however, developments across the week to date have culminated in a drastic change in the situation.

As per a report from Mundo Deportivo:

‘A complete turnaround in Nicolás Tagliafico’s situation! Linked in recent days to Sevilla and Oviedo, among other teams, the 32-year-old Argentine left-back could remain at Lyon after the French club was reinstated to Ligue 1.’
