Spanish outlet Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, via Sport Witness, reports that Sevilla is closely monitoring Everton right-back Nathan Patterson for the upcoming summer transfer window. The club’s sporting director, Antonio Cordón, has identified the 24-year-old Scotland international as a top priority for next season.
Sevilla Targets Nathan Patterson for Summer Move: What to Know About Everton’s Transfer Situation
Sevilla reportedly sees Patterson as one of their main targets, along with Getafe’s Juan Iglesias, who will be a free agent in June. This interest is not new; there were rumors of a deal in January when Everton proposed a transfer involving €15 million plus Patterson on loan for Sevilla’s young talent Juanlu Sánchez. That deal fell apart when Juanlu opted to stay, but Cordón hasn’t removed Patterson from his list.
Sevilla’s interest is largely due to their need to improve their financial situation. The club aims to sell both Juanlu and José Ángel Carmona this summer to generate necessary funds, leaving manager Matías Almeyda searching for affordable options on the right side. Reports indicate Sevilla have already reached a verbal agreement with Iglesias and view Patterson as a suitable second option, likely looking for a loan to manage their wage expenses.
