Sevilla FC's Swiss internationals Rubén Vargas and Djibril Sow will join the team's preseason training camp in the Netherlands after finishing their post-World Cup vacations. The squad, currently playing friendlies including a match against Ceuta, will be in camp from July 30 to August 7, playing three friendlies including against Bayer Leverkusen. Vargas, whose market value has risen to €15 million after a strong World Cup performance, is a high-profile transfer target with Sevilla seeking around €20 million. Sow, valued at €7.5 million, has also attracted interest, though no formal offers have been received. Both players are key to coach Luis García Plaza's plans but could generate capital gains for the club.

Sevilla will play their fourth preseason friendly tonight (9:00 PM) against Ceuta, behind closed doors at the Estadio Jesús Navas.

The white-and-reds have had a mixed preseason so far:

Defeated Juventud Torremolinos with a penalty goal by Migue Sierra
Suffered a narrow loss in Poland against KS Cracovia
Won the Trofeo Puertas de Córdoba on penalties last Thursday

Manager Luis García Plaza continues to distribute minutes between academy players and first-team members, as he has not yet recovered his full squad.

Key Players Set to Rejoin

In the coming days, García Plaza will regain two key pieces of his system — both of whom are also valuable assets that could generate capital gains in the transfer market: Rubén Vargas and Djibril Sow.

The Swiss internationals are currently enjoying their last days of vacation after representing their country at the recent World Cup. Switzerland was eliminated in the quarterfinals, losing 3-1 to Argentina in a match marked by the controversial expulsion of Breel Embolo.

Both players will join the team's 'stage' in the Netherlands. The squad will travel and be in camp from Thursday, July 30 to August 7 to advance their preparation. During the stay, they will play three friendly matches:

Friday, July 31 — vs. NEC Nijmegen
Sunday, August 2 — vs. Utrecht
August 8 — vs. Bayer Leverkusen (at BayArena, Germany)

Transfer Market Outlook

Rubén Vargas

Vargas' strong World Cup performance has made him Sevilla's highest-profile player on the market. According to Transfermarkt, his valuation has risen to 15 million euros, up from 12 million last June.

Several clubs, including some from the Premier League, have tracked the former Augsburg winger. However, Vargas delayed any decision on his future until after the World Cup. He is not ruling out a departure.

"I want to play in the Champions League one day," he commented last month.

Sevilla's intention is to earn around 20 million euros for Rubén Vargas.

Djibril Sow

Sow also has market interest, with several clubs having inquired about the exit conditions for both the midfielder and the Nervión club. No formal offer has been received yet, but any proposal that arrives will be considered.

Sow was one of the players who agreed to renegotiate his contract last season to help the club with registrations. According to Transfermarkt, his market value stands at 7.5 million euros.
