„Sevilla“ team strengthened their lineup on the last day of player transfers. The Andalusians acquired Quincy Promes from Moscow's „Spartak“ team for 21 million euros. „Sevilla“ signed a five-year contract with the 26-year-old Dutch player.
Q. Promes, who performed excellently in the Russian Premier League, scored 57 goals in 115 matches since 2014, and was the top scorer in the league last season.
For „Sevilla“ fans, Q. Promes may be remembered for scoring a goal against them in the Champions League.
The footballer has also represented the Dutch national team 28 times and scored 5 goals during that time.
It is reported that Q. Promes was also being actively pursued by „AC Milan“ and „Leicester City“. It was said that „Spartak“ demanded around 30 million euros for his release from the Italian teams, but negotiations broke down because the player allegedly demanded too much from the team.
A similar situation had arisen this week and it was reported that Q. Promes was demanding a higher salary than what „Sevilla“ offered. However, both parties managed to reach an agreement.
