La Liga
Sevilla FC has set a price of around 18 million euros for the transfer of Swiss winger Ruben Vargas, who has sparked the interest of Tottenham Hotspur in the winter market.
The Sevillian club is going through a financial situation that forces them to consider player departures to reinforce their liquidity, and the possibility of Vargas leaving the team is now on the table. Meanwhile, Tottenham sees this player as an attractive option to strengthen their wings.
Sevilla requests 18 million euros for Ruben Vargas
Sevilla has informed potential buyers that they will not accept less than 18 million euros to part ways with Ruben Vargas in January. This figure reflects both the player's value due to his performance and the financial needs of the Sevillian club.
Vargas, 27, has had good numbers this season with Sevilla: two goals and four assists in ten league games, confirming his offensive impact. The Andalusian team is not willing to let him go cheap but understands that a transfer could balance its accounts before the end of the year.
Tottenham considers the addition of Ruben Vargas
Tottenham Hotspur is currently reviewing its attacking squad and is looking to strengthen its wings for the second half of the season. In this context, Ruben Vargas emerges as a real target for the left flank.
Tottenham believes that the Swiss player fits the profile they need to provide more depth and imbalance from the side. While the Spurs are also scouting other players, the possibility of concluding a deal with Sevilla for Vargas in January is starting to take shape. The competition for his signature and the market pressure mean that Tottenham is attentive to deadlines and figures.
Why does Tottenham want Vargas and why does Sevilla value him?
Ruben Vargas offers a combination of European experience, recent performance, and offensive versatility. Sevilla values his ability to create opportunities, assist, and score goals from wide positions.
Tottenham, on the other hand, needs precisely that type of player to revitalize its attack and compensate for the departure or lower performance of key figures. The Swiss player has a long-term contract with Sevilla, giving the Andalusian club negotiation power: they do not need to sell desperately, but an offer of around 18 million could tempt them to cash in. Tottenham knows it must act swiftly if they want to secure the winger before other clubs enter the bidding war.
By demanding 18 million, Sevilla sends a clear message: Vargas will not leave for a lower amount and could stay if that sum does not materialize. Tottenham will have to assess if this investment aligns with their planning and if the player is willing to make the move now.
The next days or weeks will be crucial to see how this operation unfolds. If it goes through, it would be a strategic move for both Sevilla and Tottenham: the Andalusians would free up resources while the Londoners would add a winger with a destabilizing profile. Ruben Vargas is at a crossroads in his career; his decision and that of the involved clubs will mark an important chapter in the winter transfer market.
