Ever Banega: Sevilla and PSG compete for his signing
"Whether Éver went to Italy, Sevilla, or the Sevilla last summer, it will always be his home. Sevilla is the place where he truly felt comfortable, loved by the people. I haven't spoken to Éver in detail, but I know what he thinks. Inter will only let him go if it's for a transfer, for a sale, because he has already received offers from other clubs to buy him and Éver has discarded them. Is the return of Banega possible or an unrealizable madness? It is possible. Another thing will be when the real interest of Sevilla is evaluated. Did Óscar Arias talk to Banega? Yes, he did. It's fine. Éver would be delighted to return."
These statements, collected by ABC de Sevilla, correspond to Marcelo Simonian, the representative of Éver Banega. The Andalusian newspaper has questioned the player's representative from Inter Milan about the rumors that have linked the player with Sevilla in recent days, which sees the return of the 28-year-old Argentinean as the best possible option to strengthen their midfield.
To that end, the Andalusian club is already preparing €9M for his signing, although the nerazzurro side demands no less than €15M for the midfielder who played 29 matches (6 goals) last season. And we have just learned that he has another important suitor.
This suitor is Unai Emery's PSG, who is closely monitoring his situation and could offer him the possibility of being a key piece in his project at the French club, according to ABC. Therefore, they will be the Sevilla’s main rival in the race for the return of this player.
Meanwhile, Sevilla president José Castro spoke at a press conference today and among other things, he talked about Banega's future: "We are negotiating with different players, there is interest in Banega but I can't say more because it has just started, there are some options that you know about and others that you don't. He likes the idea of returning to Sevilla, we are talking to him, but it's not realistic to say that it's a done deal because he still belongs to a club."
