Roma will look to sign Sevilla midfielder Pablo Sarabia

Roma are reportedly one of many clubs keeping tabs on Spain international Pablo Sarabia.

According to the football transfer rumours in Spanish media, Roma are set to sign Sevilla midfielder Pablo Sarabia.

The Spain international was signed by Sevilla in July 2016 from Getafe for a fee of 1 million euros. The 26-year-old has a contract until 2020 with the club.

This season, Sarabia has scored 21 goals and provided 14 assists in 47 appearances for Sevilla.

He is 26-year-old and has his peak years ahead.

Pablo Sarabia has represented Spain at Under-16, Under-17, Under-18, Under-19 and Under-21 level, winning 64 caps and scoring 19 goals.

The Spain international has impressed in La Liga this season and is starting to attract the interest of bigger clubs.

Roma shortlist Sarabia as transfer target this summer. They are in the market for just a handful of statement signings who can improve the first-team.

According to Football Espana, “Roma are prepared to pay the €18m release clause of Sevilla midfielder Pablo Sarabia this summer, according to reports. The player has previously been linked with a move to Chelsea, who are said to view him as a potential replacement for Pedro Rodriguez, who is six years his senior. The Madrid-native started his career at Real Madrid and even made a Copa del Rey appearance in the first-team before joining Getafe in 2011. In January, a report in Diario AS cited Sevilla’s ‘anxiety’ over the release clause, with the player’s deal in the Andalusian capital in the summer of 2020. There had been claims that new Sevilla sporting director Monchi – who left Roma last month – will prioritise attempts to renew the contract of the midfielder.”
