Konoplyanka agrees move to Sevilla

Sevilla have agreed personal terms with Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk winger Yevhen Konoplyanka ahead of a move to the Andalucian club. Sevilla still need to agree a deal with Dnipro which, followed by a medical, will allow them to officially sign Konoplyanka.

The official statement from the Spanish club read :

“Sevilla FC have reached an agreement with the Ukrainian international Yevhen Konoplyanka, at the expense of passing the medical examination and that the final agreement with the Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk is closed.”

The 25-year-old’s contract had expired in June but the clauses in it demand a compensation to be paid to Dnipro.

Konoplyanka has been linked to many European clubs such as Tottenham, Atletico Madrid and almost signed for Liverpool in January only for the deal to collapse on the deadline day.

Konoplyanka will become Sevilla’s fourth signing of the summer and would help in filling the void left by Carlos Bacca who moved to AC Milan.
