Sevilla is closely monitoring Olwethu Makhanya, the young center back from Rangers, for the upcoming January. The next target for Sevilla's signing is a defender who can strengthen the rotation for the second part of the season.

According to sources like TEAMtalk, the sports management of Nervión is following the progress of the South African international, discovering that the Scottish club does not plan to facilitate his exit in January as they have the player under contract until June 2030.

Olwethu Makhanya's breakthrough at Rangers and the competition for his signing

The 22-year-old defender, standing at 1.88 meters, arrived at Rangers this summer from Philadelphia Union for a fee between £3 and £5 million (€3.5 to €5.8 million), accumulating 1,000 official minutes in 11 matches across Premiership, League Cup, Champions League qualifying, and Europa League. The defender has 4 caps with South Africa and a market value of €8.00 million in Transfermarkt, attracting scouts from Sevilla, Brentford, Sunderland, and Bologna.

In the Scottish league, the player has helped keep a clean sheet in 4 games, achieving an average rating of 7.46, proving swift adaptation to European football.

Sevilla's planning to tackle the negotiation in the summer of 2027

Sevilla's technical department values the player for his ability to play in four- or three-man defenses, as well as his proficiency as a defensive midfielder. The analysts at the Andalusian club believe his physical strength and clean ball distribution fit LaLiga's style to facilitate a generational shift in the backline.

Rangers' hierarchy doesn't feel rushed to sell mid-season after rejecting previous offers of €3.5 million from Belgium, postponing any formal negotiations until the end of the 2026-2027 season. Sevilla's analysts will attend Olwethu Makhanya's official matches with Rangers over the final months of 2026.

If Rangers' management agrees to set a selling price below €10 million in the next winter market, Sevilla will start the process to secure his signing in January.
