According to AS, Ruben Vargas does not wish to remain at Sevilla and has informed the club management of this, although he will not pressure for a departure.

The Swiss winger has been seeking a transfer all summer but has not found a satisfactory destination, as he prefers to play in the Champions League. The closest team to signing him currently is Olympiakos Piraeus, which will participate in the Europa League after being eliminated from the Champions League qualifiers.

Olympiakos Piraeus and Sevilla have begun negotiations for the 28-year-old Vargas, but the Greek club's initial offer of approximately 12 million euros did not satisfy Sevilla. Sevilla had previously valued Vargas at 20 million euros, but as the transfer deadline approaches and the club's recruitment needs, the asking price has dropped to 15 million euros. The offers from both sides are gradually converging, so a deal is expected to be completed.

Of course, this is provided that Sevilla also reaches an agreement with Vargas himself. Since joining Sevilla in January 2025, Vargas has been recognized for his individual ability and finishing prowess around the box, but his injury proneness has been disappointing, especially during certain periods when his commitment in matches was not at its highest level. This was particularly evident in the latter part of last season before he went to the World Cup with Switzerland.

Vargas previously performed well at the World Cup, contributing 2 goals and 1 assist, helping Switzerland reach the quarterfinals, which attracted the attention of several European league teams. Bundesliga, Premier League, and Serie A teams have all been linked with him, but interest has been relatively limited. For Vargas and Sevilla, his next destination seems increasingly likely to be Greece.

Teixeira is also key to Sevilla's squad adjustment.

In addition to Vargas and Agoume, who is also on the transfer market, Teixeira's departure could also help Sevilla adjust its squad. The Brazilian center-back is not in coach Luis Garcia's main plans, and Sevilla's current defensive line personnel is already insufficient.

In fact, due to Kike Salas's red card in the final moments of the match against Rayo Vallecano, Sevilla will be without this defender in Saturday's away match against Athletic Bilbao. Castelin is expected to partner with Senegalese center-back Sangante.
