Sevilla are among the sides to have been linked with a move for Leeds United winger Crysencio Summerville this summer.
According to TeamTalk, Victor Orta is looking to raid his former club for the 21-year-old with his future at Elland Road looking uncertain after relegation.
Orta was named as Sevilla’s new sporting director last month and Summerville is one of three players to have been linked with joining him in Spain, alongside Rodrigo and Tyler Adams.
However, a move for Rodrigo has already broken down over personal terms with a move to Qatar most likely, while links to Summerville and Adams have not extended beyond interest as of yet.
And based on yesterday’s developments from Spain, it is hard to see it ever going further, with Sevilla seemingly in a very poor financial position.
Sevilla surely have no chance in Summerville pursuit after yesterday’s reports
According to MARCA, Sevilla have placed the entire of their squad on the transfer list and are €90 million (£77m) in debt, which is likely to severely restrict them in the market.
That surely ends any hopes of landing Summerville this summer, with the young winger reportedly set to cost around £12 million.
Sevilla will also face competition from Everton and Feyenoord for his signature but their financial situation means their priorities at this stage have to be elsewhere.
Leeds instead should be doing all they can to try and keep Summerville at Elland Road, with him undoubtedly possessing the ability to rip the Championship apart.
Summerville has already addressed his future while on international duty with Netherlands’ U21s, stating his love for the club, potentially offering hope he could stay.
