Sevilla targets Real Madrid Castilla goalkeeper Fran González

Published Jul 25, 05:46 AM UTC

Sevilla has decided to pursue Real Madrid Castilla goalkeeper Fran González as a replacement for Vlachodimos. The 21-year-old, 1.99m tall, is a Spanish U21 international who made his La Liga debut two seasons ago. An agreement with the player is nearly finalized, but negotiations with Real Madrid are ongoing over a co-ownership formula, as Sevilla's financial constraints limit them to this arrangement. Fran González's contract with Real Madrid runs until 2028, and the club wants to retain future options on him. Sevilla warns the deal is not close and that other options remain open. Meanwhile, youth goalkeeper Alberto Flores is expected to go on loan to a Segunda División team for experience.
