Sevilla open talks for Bryan Cristante
When it comes to the transfer market, Sevilla are simply one of the best in the business.
Spanish source claim that Sevilla have opened talks for Bryan Cristante.
Roma spent 22 million euros to sign the Italy international from Atalanta in the summer of 2019. The 26-year-old has two years left on his current contract which expires in 2024.
Cristante has scored three goals and assisted one more across all competitions this season.
The 26-year-old is considered to be one of the best midfielders in Italy. As a member of Italy national football team, Cristante won 22 caps and he scored one goal.
His performances have seen him become the target of many European clubs including Sevilla.
Monchi wants to sign a new midfielder and Cristante is one of the names at the top of his wishlist. He is a firm fan of Roma midfielder and Sevilla could make a move for the player if the financial aspect makes sense.
The former Atalanta man will offer the Sevilla boss the freedom to be more flexible with his formations, tactics and team selections.
According to the report, “Sevilla are making a move for Roma midfielder Bryan Cristante. TMW says Sevilla chief Monchi has open talks with Cristante’s agent, Beppe Riso, about a move to Spain this summer. Riso also takes care of Sevilla winger Papu Gomez. The Giallorossi are prepared to sell the Italy international and rate him at €20m. Sevilla coach Julen Lopetegui is a fan of Cristante and sees him enhancing his current midfield. The sale of Jules Kounde or Diego Carlos by Sevilla is likely to fund the deal.”
