The Christmas holidays are coming to an end for many and next weekend club football returns after these winter holidays. Rubén Vargas He was one of the first to return to Seville and was seen yesterday in the sports city … exercise to be available as soon as possible.
The Swiss was injured on November 24 against Espanyol and missed a total of six matches between LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. He missed Almeyda in this timeout, but everything indicates that the winger will return to the field against Levante.
On that day, the January transfer market will have already started and Rubén will be one of the names. Currently, it is one of the most interesting assets that the Sevilla FCinternational is a must for Matías Almeyda and, moreover, it is one of the top scorers currently with Akor Adams And Isaac Romero.
Sevilla evaluates its sale
Already during the last summer market, Villarreal was interested in acquiring his services in the latter part of the market. In fact, the Sevilla FC was able to sell to lukebakio Oh Vargas so that the accounts can balance and comply with La Liga regulations. In the end, Antonio Cordón opted for the Belgian, because Benfica’s offer was much more advantageous for the club, since Villarreal’s offer was not even close to the claims of Nervion’s club.
NOW, Rubén Vargas will celebrate his first year at Sevilla FC and its future is still not clear at all. As he knew ABC of Sevilleseveral Premier League teams have questioned the footballer’s situation. More precisely, the Bournemouth, Leeds United and Sunderland These are the clubs most interested in the Swiss’ services.
The starting price they are testing from England would be around ten million euros, although the Sevilla FC rated the player at 15 million last summer, when Villarreal were considering signing him. Although it is true that, if necessary, the transaction could be concluded at a fixed price lower than this. However, the plans Antonio Cordonthe director of football of Sevilla, does not make it a priority to sell Vargas.
The winger does not want to leave Sevilla, but he is not getting closer in case a big offer arrives.
The Swiss, with Akor, was the Víctor Orta’s latest recruit at Sevilla FC. The club paid 2.5 million recruit the player from FC Augsburg. His first months in the Seville capital were not easy, although he acclimatized immediately, becoming indispensable for García Pimienta, the player was injured last March and his season ended there.
A bit of cold water for him and for the team, which missed him a lot in the final third of the championship tournament. After that, he decided to work hard so that this season he could give the best of himself, aware that the 2026 World Cup He is making great strides and wants to continue to count for his trainer.
The Swiss highly appreciates his role within the team managed by Matías Almeyda and does not want to leave for a club where this situation could change. Those around him insist that Vargas is very happy here, despite the difficulties the team is going through and that he would only leave if the offer that came his way was satisfactory both economically and sportingly.
An idea that his sports director supports. In fact, the idea of Extremadura is to close the transfer of Juanlu and thus avoid getting rid of one of the most important pieces of the team, like Rubén. He has already had to sell Lukebakio due to the refusal of other young players to leave the Sevillian club, such as case of Carmona and Nottingham Forestand you want things to look different in this new window.
Cordón’s plans this winter are to achieve a good sale, so no scenario in this regard is ruled out.
Juanlu He has lost a lot of notoriety so far in the 2025-26 campaign and, although he had a great game against Real Madrid, his performance in the minutes he has enjoyed this season has been very discreet. He does not start for Almeyda, unlike his teammate Rubén Vargas and his sale would result in a total added value. A blessing for the battered coffers of Seville.
THE shadow of Naples He is still present and it is the only destination to which the Sevillian was ready to go a few months ago. He even rejected the clubs of Premier League like him Wolverhampton for trying to reach the Italian champion. A sale which was ultimately not concluded due to economic differences, since Sevilla intended to increase the percentage in the event of a future sale. After months of stalled negotiations, the deal was not reached and Juanlu inherited number 16 from Jesús Navas.
However, other teams are following him closely and it will be necessary to see if the wishes of the youth team have changed compared to the summer. Bundesliga side Bayer Leverkusen and English club Everton have recently monitored his situation and are positioning themselves as alternatives to Juanlu. Of course, Sevilla’s position on the quintene is clear, they won’t let him leave for less than 15 million eurostaking into account the youth and potential of the player.
However, the idea of the Sevillian entity is to generate capital gains of at least ten million euros to be able to attend the winter market and, in addition, continue to respect the economic recovery roadmap that has been set. This way only players like Juanlu, Agoumé, Carmona or Rubén Vargas They are the ones who are expected to be able to leave this sum of money this winter. The priorities are clear, another question will be how the negotiations will take place.
