Wolves and Sevilla ‘planning ahead’ as £4.4m January transfer looms
Wolverhampton Wanderers are already thinking ahead to the January transfer window.
Sevilla are reportedly planning a winter approach for Wolves star Pablo Sarabia as they seek to offer the Spain international a route back to his home nation.
The attacking midfielder hasn’t been as regular as a starter for the Old Gold as he would have hoped when he signed for £4.4 million from Paris Saint-Germain in January 2023. Sarabia has been more of a rotation option, playing in a variety of roles to help out when Wanderers have gone through rough patches with injuries.
Last season certainly wasn’t a disaster as Sarabia contributed four goals and seven assists in 30 Premier League appearances, but he’s still not been one of the key men. Had he found the form of the 2021/22 campaign - when he scored 15 goals and made eight assists in 29 league games for Sporting Lisbon - things may have turned out differently.
Vamos Mi Sevilla FC reports head coach García Pimienta is already planning ahead for January signings after a poor start to the new campaign for Sevilla. Sarabia has been listed as a target the Spanish club are considering and it’s stated the player would be delighted to return back to his former employers.
The now 32-year-old played for Sevilla in his prime, registering an impressive tally of 43 goals and 38 assists in 151 matches between 2016 and 2019. Sarabia then earned his move to PSG, where he continued his form but had to fight hard for a starting spot.
It awaits to be seen what Wolves’ stance on selling Sarabia would be but the fact he’ll only have six months left on his deal at that point is bound to play a part. Sevilla could theoretically approach Wanderers with a cut-price bid, or even speak to the player about a free summer move.
