Newcastle United open to permanent sale talks with Sevilla for Odysseas Vlachodimos
Newcastle United are reportedly prepared to let Odysseas Vlachodimos leave the club permanently in the coming months.
According to an update by Turkish journalist Ekrem Konur, they are ready to open talks with Sevilla over a permanent move for the £20 million misfit. Vlachodimos does not have a future at Newcastle and he needs to leave the club. It will be interesting to see if Sevilla are willing to sign him permanently. He has done well for them during his loan spell so far.
The goalkeeper has dropped down the pecking order at the Premier League club and the likes of Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale are ahead of him in the pecking order. He will be hoping to play regularly at this stage of his career and leaving Newcastle permanently would be ideal for him. The Magpies will look to recoup some money from his departure as well.
They will look to improve the team further in the coming windows. Selling their fringe players would be ideal. It remains to be seen whether Sevilla are prepared to pay up for him. Newcastle paid £20 million to sign him and they will look to recoup that fee, perhaps even register a profit. It remains to be seen how the situation develops.
Newcastle have done well to improve their squad in recent seasons and they have secured Champions League qualification for this season. They managed to win a domestic trophy last season as well. They have an ambitious project and they will look to continue improving so that they can compete with elite clubs in future.
Selling their fringe players and bringing in quality alternatives is the right modus operandi for them and it remains to be seen whether Newcastle can get rid of the goalkeeper quickly. The player will look to sort out his long-term future as well. He will look to focus on his football once again and securing a permanent exit from the English club would be ideal for him. The move seems ideal for all parties and it remains to be seen whether they can wrap up an agreement quickly.
