Sevilla set to beat Everton to signing of Manchester United starlet, loan deal would include buy option
Sevilla have been very busy in the opening days of the winter transfer window. Sporting Director Victor Orta has been pursuing multiple deals, as Los Nervionenses look to turn around their poor form from the opening half of the season.
21-year-old midfielder Lucien Agoume became Sevilla’s first signing of the month on Wednesday, and he should be joined by multiple others before the transfer window comes to a close. The next through the door could well be another young midfielder, that being Hannibal Mejbri.
Sevilla have been working to sign the Tunisian international, and their work looks like it will soon pay off. David Ornstein has reported that Manchester United would prefer to send him to Spain, despite interest from Everton.
A loan deal looks close to being completed. The agreement is also expected to include a buy option for Sevilla, should they decide to keep Hannibal beyond the end of the season. If they were to sign him permanently, Man United would retain a buyback clause.
