The Sevilla FC has received an offer of 12 million euros from Olympiakos for Rubén Vargas, a 27-year-old Swiss winger, in this final stretch of the transfer market. The player is under contract until 2029, and his potential sale would allow the Sevilla team to generate a significant capital gain compared to the price paid for his signing.

The Greek proposal precisely reaches one of the financial references that Sevilla had considered this summer to evaluate the player's exit. Vargas arrived from Augsburg in January 2025 for around 2.5 million euros, so accepting those 12 million euros would greatly multiply the initial investment.

Rubén Vargas has become one of the most sought-after players in the Sevilla squad. The Swiss international is under contract until June 30, 2029, with a release clause set at 40 million euros.

His performance during the 2025/26 season was affected by a muscle injury that caused him to lose continuity for several months. Nevertheless, he finished LaLiga with 3 goals and 6 assists, maintaining an offensive production that once again placed him in the spotlight during the summer.

The World Cup also raised interest around the winger. Vargas played with Switzerland and contributed one goal and two assists during the tournament, after regaining prominence with Sevilla before the competition.

That performance allowed the club to raise its expectations compared to previous markets. Villarreal had already tried to sign him for around 9 million euros, an amount that did not convince the Sevilla sports management at the time.

Olympiakos meets Sevilla FC's valuation

Olympiakos now takes a step further with an offer of 12 million euros. That amount aligns with the minimum valuation that Sevilla had considered for much of the summer to seriously consider a transfer.

The operation would have a direct impact on the accounts. If the club were to accept those 12 million euros, it would yield a difference of around 9.5 million compared to the expenditure made for Vargas in 2025, before taking into account other conditions related to the original operation.

The sports management also needs room to complete new signings. Sevilla seeks to strengthen several positions in the final weeks of the market, especially in midfield and attack, following the numerous departures during the summer.

A sale of Vargas could free up financial space for these operations. The club has already explored offensive profiles like Jorge de Frutos, whose signing would require an investment that is currently challenging without making a prior exit.

Rubén Vargas approaches the end of the transfer market

The player's stance can also influence the outcome. Vargas was open to considering a departure this summer if the destination offered a sports project that aligned with his goals.

Olympiakos now presents a specific proposal that requires Sevilla to make a decision. The contract's duration until 2029 allows the club to negotiate without pressure, but the 12 million euros on the table fall within the internally handled figures.

The next step will be the response from Sevilla FC. With Rubén Vargas valued in that range and Olympiakos willing to reach 12 million euros, the upcoming discussions will determine whether the winger leaves Nervión before the end of the transfer market.
