Inter and Sevilla have both released a statement on each of their respective homepages that the 2 clubs have agreed terms over the transfer of Argentine playmaker Ever Banega to the Andalusian club.
A statement on Sevilla’s homepage read that the two clubs “have an agreement in principle in place for the transfer for Ever Banega” which was confirmed by Inter moments later when the Nerazzurri released a statement adding that “The agreement will become effective once the player has passed a medical and signed a contract with the club.”
Banega signed for Inter in July 2016 on a free transfer after having spent 2 successful seasons with Sevilla leading the club to 2 Europa League titles, but left after failing to agree terms with the Andalusian club regarding a contract extension.
However, Banega’s stay with Inter was largely disappointing as the Argentinian failed to deliver consistently and was more often than not benched by all 4 coaches who were in charge of Inter during a chaotic season.
The transfer fee has been rumored to be in the region of €9 million which will generate a much needed profit for the Nerazzurri who need to bring in around €25 million in order to not violate the agreement struck with UEFA last summer regarding the FFP rules.
