Sevilla is working on a special formula to explain and convince newcastle united Agreeing a low-cost deal for goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos this summer.
Let's go my Seville report Efforts are ongoing for the Spanish side to acquire the 32-year-old following his successful loan spell this season.
Newcastle's demands are too high
Odysseas Vlachodimos joined Sevilla on loan from Newcastle last summer and quickly became a key player for the La Liga club. He finished the season as somewhat of their best player and a definite fan favourite.
Sevilla would like to keep him permanently. Greece's goalkeeper has also made this clear He wants to stay. But there are obstacles in his way.
To start, Newcastle want a sale worth €10-11m. Sevilla cannot afford this as they currently face 'excessive accounting limitations' which would prevent such a purchase. Therefore, they have been forced to propose a 'very clever alternative' to reduce costs.
Their proposal would be to grant Newcastle the right of first refusal or priority purchase option on various properties in the Carretera de Utrera, the first team or the club's youth system.
newcastle option offer
Therefore, Newcastle could be given first choice on first-team players such as Lucien Agoume, Akor Adams and Ruben Vargas. They are just three names in a long list.
Promising youth from Nervion Youth Academy will also participate in it. Some of these are already being monitored by leading international scouts.
It is unclear whether Newcastle would be interested in such a proposal. But advisers to Sevilla President Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco are working on the outline. They are proceeding cautiously and know that talks with Newcastle will continue over the next few weeks.
They definitely want to sign Vlachodimos permanently, but finances are in their way. The hope is that the current offer can convince Newcastle to accept a lower deal than they can realistically afford.
