Bryan Gil, a 25-year-old winger from Girona, is once again in Sevilla's transfer plans to reinforce the left flank before the market closes. The Sevillian club has already inquired about the conditions of a deal that the Catalan team initially sets between 8 and 10 million euros.

This move comes after Sevilla has paved the way for Oso's departure to Racing Strasbourg and while continuing negotiations for the potential transfer of Rubén Vargas to Olympiacos. If both deals are completed, the sports management will need to bring in at least one player for that area.

Bryan Gil reemerging as an option for Sevilla

Bryan Gil's name has been linked to a possible return to Nervión for several transfer windows. The player left the club in 2021 for Tottenham and returned on loan during the second half of the 2022/23 season, playing six months again with the Sevillian jersey.

Now, José Ignacio Navarro has revisited this option and has been in contact with both Girona and the player's entourage. Sevilla sees the player as part of a list of alternatives that also included Bryan Zaragoza, who was eventually loaned to Espanyol.

The financial aspect will be crucial. Gil is under contract with Girona until June 30, 2030, with his current valuation around 8 million euros, while Montilivi initially set the asking price between 8 and 10 million.

These figures do not fit Sevilla's plans. The most feasible option would be a loan or a deal below the initial valuation, especially after the Catalan team's relegation to Segunda División.

Girona facing pressure before market closure

Girona's sporting situation could also play a role. Relegation has triggered movements among several players in the squad, and the club approaches the final days of the market with different possible exits on the table.

Bryan Gil initially arrived on loan from Tottenham in 2024, and a year later was permanently acquired for around 6 million euros. In the last season, he played 29 matches and 1,641 minutes, providing three assists and no goals.

His importance hasn't faded after relegation. The winger started in the first two Segunda matches against Leganés and Córdoba, amassing 144 minutes, though without goals or assists yet.

The personal factor could also favor Sevilla. Gil has a close relationship with his former club and views favorably the chance to return for playing time in LaLiga, provided both clubs find an acceptable solution.

The upcoming departures will be crucial to kick-start the operation. If Sevilla finalizes Rubén Vargas's exit, the necessity to strengthen the left wing will increase, giving Bryan Gil more chances. The next step will be to see if Girona reduces those 8-10 million or agrees to negotiate a loan before the market closes.
