On Antonio Cordón’s agenda, there is a name that he has been pursuing for a long time: Patrick Mercado. The 22-year-old Ecuadorian midfielder likes (a lot) the club’s football director. Sevilla FCwhich has been monitored for some time. After the fiasco … last minute of Sofiane Amrabatwho finally signed for Betis on the last day of the summer market, the sports management of Seville is looking for a profile capable of strengthening its midfield. A white unicorn that he hasn’t been able to find for several campaigns.
Market, actor Valley Independenthas just finished the season in Ecuador and it is time to analyze what to do with his future, which in no case seems to be in his country, despite the fact that he has a contract until 2027. The young footballer completed the course in his country, establishing himself as the oldest revelation of the year. In fact, he is the player who has appreciated the most in the Ecuadorian Serie A market.
And the midfielder started the course with a value of half a million euros and closed it with a prize of 5.5 million euros. Its number supports this increase, since it was consolidated in Independiente del Valle, which earned it absolute international with Ecuador.
Competition for Sevilla
This is where the problem lies, the good performance of Patrick Mercado that several European clubs were interested in the player. In addition, Sevilla FC, from Ecuador, is targeting Portuguese and English teams, as well as Brazilians, although the player’s desire is to make the leap to Europe.
Given the small margin of movement available to the Sevilla FC Economically, the Mercado option is complicated for Cordón. Especially if the Premier League gets involved, from England we emphasize that the Wolverhampton He would be at the forefront of the fight for the player, although no formal offer has yet been made for him.
However, it is obvious that competition is strong and that the best asset of Antonio Cordon This is the stadium of the Spanish league, since it cannot offer you the opportunity to participate in a continental tournament either. Mercado wants to continue to be important wherever he goes, since he wants to continue his presence in the national team.
There are only a few days left before the start of the winter market and the football director must first release the players before he can incorporate more. The ideal would be to do without four players and integrate three: an attacker, a midfielder and, depending on who comes out, a more defensive profile.
