Sevilla transfer news: Club lodges offer for Robbie Ure and advances talks for Kochorashvili ahead of Leverkusen test
Sevilla transfer news: club bids for Robbie Ure and is in talks for Kochorashvili as the squad reshapes ahead of final preseason vs Bayer Leverkusen soon.
Sevilla completed a training session in Garderen on Thursday as the club prepares for a final preseason test against Bayer Leverkusen this Saturday at 15:30 CET. The developments on the training ground arrive alongside new transfer activity, with the club lodging a formal proposal for Scottish forward Robbie Ure while progressing talks for midfielder Giorgi Kochorashvili. The team will return from its training base tomorrow and travel to Leverkusen to begin preparations for the match and the LaLiga opener on August 15 against Rayo Vallecano at Nervión.
Final preseason fixture against Bayer Leverkusen set for Saturday
Sevilla’s final warm-up match comes at a demanding level, with Bayer Leverkusen providing a stern examination before the league campaign begins. The squad held a last full-session in Garderen and will depart the training base after a morning workout to relocate to Leverkusen and establish a match-day concentration. The timing of the encounter gives the coaching staff a final opportunity to assess tactical tweaks and match fitness under competitive conditions ahead of the season opener.
The Leverkusen meeting is also a key moment for fringe players and new signings to stake a claim for the first-team plans. With a competitive starting eleven still under evaluation, minutes in this fixture will influence selection decisions for the opening rounds of LaLiga. The coaching staff will weigh performance, fitness and tactical adaptability when finalizing roles for the new campaign.
Summer departures leave Sevilla with a reshaped roster
Sevilla have seen a number of departures over the summer that have materially changed the composition of the squad. Recent exits include transfers of Juanlu and Sow, while Akor Adams, Tanguy Nianzou and Rafa Mir have also left the club during this window. In addition, seven players reached the end of their contracts on June 30, creating further turnover in the roster heading into the new season.
Those contract conclusions and outgoing moves have reduced depth across multiple positions and reinforced the club’s need to prioritise reinforcements before the transfer window closes. The cumulative effect of these departures has increased urgency around securing at least one forward and shoring up the midfield balance. Club officials have signalled that the roster is not yet final and additional moves remain possible.
New arrivals: Goalkeeper, defenders and midfield options added
Sevilla’s sporting direction has moved to replenish key areas with several signings already integrated into the squad. New arrivals include goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, centre-back Arouna Sangante, and additions such as Juan Iglesias, Jon Guridi, Julio Díaz and Fran González. Those signings have been brought in to provide competition, versatility and cover across the spine of the team.
The signings reflect a targeted approach by the sporting directorate to reinforce specific units while keeping a view on long-term planning. Incoming players will be assessed during the Leverkusen match and in the final preseason sessions to determine immediate roles. While those additions address multiple needs, the club’s hierarchy has prioritised further reinforcement up front as the transfers continue.
Club lodges formal proposal for Robbie Ure as striker priority
Sevilla have submitted a proposal for Robbie Ure, the Scottish forward currently on the books at Sirius, as part of a plan to bolster options up front. The club view Ure as a candidate to add pace and finishing ability to the attacking group, and the offer represents Sevilla’s intent to secure at least one more forward. Reports indicate the club is considering multiple names and that the final strategy could involve signing two strikers rather than just one.
The move for Ure underlines Sevilla’s recognition that attacking depth is essential given recent departures and the demands of competing on multiple fronts this season. Negotiations will now hinge on fee agreement and personal terms, while the board balances recruitment ambition with fiscal prudence. Club sources suggest Sevilla want to conclude at least one forward deal quickly to provide the coach with options before the league begins.
Negotiations continue for Giorgi Kochorashvili from Sporting Clube
Sevilla are also advancing talks to bring Giorgi Kochorashvili to the club as a midfield reinforcement, with the player having signalled his willingness to move. Sporting Clube reportedly invested €5.5 million in the Georgian last summer and are looking to recoup a significant portion of that outlay either through a direct transfer or a loan that includes an obligation to buy. Sevilla’s transfer team is engaged in negotiations to find a structure that satisfies both clubs while meeting the squad’s tactical needs.
Kochorashvili’s profile fits Sevilla’s midfield blueprint, offering distribution and physicality that could complement the current engine room. The club will aim to secure terms that provide immediate reinforcement while protecting financial flexibility for further business. The talks remain fluid and will be influenced by Sporting’s valuation and Sevilla’s parallel pursuit of attacking targets.
Coach Luis García Plaza acknowledges a short squad but points to remaining window
Head coach Luis García Plaza has acknowledged that the group is still short on numbers but reminded that there is a month remaining in the transfer window. Speaking through the club’s official channels, he described the current situation as “the duality of always,” highlighting both the need for reinforcements and the practical constraints of the market. The coach’s focus remains on preparing the team tactically and physically for the upcoming fixtures while the club’s sporting directors work behind the scenes.
García Plaza’s comments underline the balancing act between immediate competitive demands and the longer-term roster-building plan. He will use the Leverkusen match to finalise tactical contours and to identify which players can step into expanded roles if signings are delayed. The coach has stressed fitness and cohesion as priorities while transfers are being resolved.
Sevilla’s transfer agenda is likely to be driven by two overriding considerations: securing a reliable goalscorer and ensuring midfield depth without compromising financial stability. The club’s sporting leadership appears willing to pursue both permanent transfers and carefully structured loans if that route achieves the necessary squad balance. Time remains on the clock, but decisions made in the coming weeks will shape Sevilla’s competitive profile for the season.
Sevilla will travel to Leverkusen with an eye on both performance and pending business, seeking a positive final test before the league opener. The next fortnight will be decisive as negotiations continue, players integrate and the coaching staff finalise tactical priorities for the campaign ahead.
