The Spanish club are hoping to sign him for a transfer fee of 6 million euros. However, Chelsea have expressed interest in signing the player in recent hours and appear to be aiming to sign him. It will be interesting to see if they can get a deal done.
The talented young midfielder has performed very well at Independiente del Valle and could be attracted by the idea of a move to Chelsea. They are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them would be very exciting.
They have the resources to pay the asking price and should also be able to persuade players. The midfielder contributed 18 goals last year and has the qualities to develop into an important player for Chelsea. They could display more creativity and purpose from mid-park, and the 22-year-old would be an ideal long-term investment. It remains to be seen whether they can complete this transfer at the end of the season.
Sevilla would be an exciting move for the player, but Chelsea are one of the biggest clubs in the world. If a concrete proposal is on the table, it will be difficult for him to refuse. Chelsea are looking to build a formidable squad for the future and signing a talented young midfielder could be a step in the right direction.
