Jorge De Frutos has entered the transfer plans of Sevilla FC to reinforce the attack if Rubén Vargas leaves the club in the last weeks of the transfer window. The 29-year-old winger from Rayo Vallecano, under contract until 2028, is liked in Nervión, although there is currently no formal offer.

Sevilla sees his name in a planning influenced by potential departures. De Frutos has played 173 games, scored 26 goals, and provided 21 assists in La Liga, figures that fit the profile of players with immediate experience in LaLiga that the sports management is seeking.

Jorge De Frutos' Future Depends on Rubén Vargas' Exit

The potential transfer is directly linked to the future of Rubén Vargas. The Swiss international is still part of Luis García Plaza's squad, but a sale would allow Sevilla FC to generate revenue and free up salary space to seek an attacking replacement.

Currently, interest in Jorge De Frutos is in its early stages. There are no formal contacts between Sevilla and Rayo or a financial proposal on the table. The main obstacle is the player's price tag, currently beyond the economic possibilities of the Seville team.

The situation might change if Vargas leaves Sánchez-Pizjuán before the transfer window closes. Sevilla would then consider using part of the proceeds to push for De Frutos, but they would first need to reach an agreement with Rayo Vallecano, who has the player under contract for another two seasons, until June 2028.

De Frutos, objective of Sevilla

Rayo Vallecano Made a Significant Investment in De Frutos

Rayo welcomed back Jorge De Frutos in the summer of 2023, when he arrived from Levante. The Madrid club then signed him for five seasons, a deal that allows them to negotiate his future without rushing into an immediate departure.

The 2023 transfer amounted to around 8 million euros, becoming one of Rayo's major investments. Since then, De Frutos has become a key player in the team, and his performance in La Liga has increased the potential costs of any future negotiations.

Another element that could come into play is Rayo's interest in Adrià Pedrosa, a full-back not in Sevilla's primary plans, potentially facilitating talks between the clubs if the interest in De Frutos becomes more concrete.

The immediate coincidence in the calendar is that Rayo Vallecano will visit Sevilla at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán on Saturday, August 15 during the first round of LaLiga 2026/27. De Frutos will remain an opponent as there are no advanced negotiations for a club change.

The next move will depend on Rubén Vargas. If the Swiss player departs and Sevilla FC gains financial flexibility, Jorge De Frutos is one of the options that could gain momentum before the transfer window closes; without that sale, his current price keeps the operation distant from reaching a specific stage.
