Sevilla have secured a major boost to their squad with the signing of Julio Díaz, who joins the Spanish club after both parties reached an agreement for the transfer of 50% of his rights for a fee of around 1.5 million.
What happened?
The left-back, who last season made his debut under Simeone and went on to play four games, becomes Sevilla's first signing for the upcoming season.
Why is it important for Sevilla?
The signing of Julio Díaz is a big step for Sevilla, who are looking to improve their position in the La Liga table, where they currently sit 16th with 34 points, 9 wins, 7 draws and 15 losses in 31 games, and with a goal difference of -12.
What comes next?
Julio Díaz will join the Sevilla squad that travels to the Netherlands on Thursday for a training camp. The left-back did not participate in Atlético Madrid's training session and is expected to sign his contract with Sevilla in the coming days.
