The Sevilla is about to secure the services of Odysseas Vlachodimos, the Greek goalkeeper who has pressured Newcastle to continue at the Sánchez Pizjuán.

What has happened?

The Andalusian team has approached Newcastle to reach an agreement for a second season of loan by express desire of the player himself.

Why is it important for Sevilla?

Vlachodimos had pressured the English club to understand that his desire was to continue at Sevilla and not play for any other club. The Newcastle had already communicated to the player's agents that they no longer needed him after signing the young Ewen Jaouen, from Stade de Reims, for more than 25 million euros.

What comes next?

Thus, according to Muchodeporte, Sevilla and Newcastle are finalizing an agreement for a new loan for one season with the commitment from the Andalusian club to take on a larger percentage of his contract. It is also possible that a purchase commitment could be made, which would be mandatory in case of achieving certain collective objectives. The Sevilla, waiting to formalize the continuity of the international Greek goalkeeper although born in Stuttgart (Germany), has no goalkeepers just days before the start of the preseason, since both the loan of Vlachodimos and the contract of the Norwegian Orjan Nyland expire on June 30. | Statistic | Value | | --- | --- | | League position | 13th in La Liga | | Points | 43 pts | | Games played | 38 | | Recent form | LLWWW |
