"Valencia" defender E. Banega moves to "Sevilla" rivals

UEFA Europa League winners "Sevilla" have reached an agreement with "Valencia" club for the acquisition of 26-year-old midfielder Ever Banega.

The Argentine has been part of "Los Che" team since 2008, but spent last season playing for "Newell's Old Boys" in his homeland.

E. Banega, who was once loaned to Madrid's "Atletico" club, will become a member of the "Sevilla" club after completing all formalities and passing a medical check-up.

Following the departures of Ivan Rakitic and Alberto Moreno (to "Barcelona" and "Liverpool" clubs respectively), the club has strengthened by signing Denis Suarez and Gerard Deulofeu (both from "Barcelona"), as well as defender Grzegorz Krychowiak from "Reims".

E. Banega began his professional football career at "Boca Juniors", and "Valencia" paid 18 million euros for him twelve years ago.
