Gary Medel could be on his way to Spanish side Sevilla
Spanish club Sevilla have confirmed interest in Boca Juniors’ Chilean international Gary Medel, with his Argentine side and former club Universidad Catolica — who both own part of his rights — setting his transfer price at $8 million. Medel has proved his worth both with his club and country, and is expected to start for Chile at the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
As well as attracting interest from Sevilla, the agent of the player has also been presented with an offer from an unidentified English club. However, he admitted that Sevilla have made greater progress in signing the player, and if negotiations continue in this manner he will reinforce the Andaluz side for next season.
Medel, 22, arrived at Boca mid-way through last year and he made an immediate impact at the club. Although Boca have struggled in the actual Argentine Clausura championship, Medel has been one of their standout performers, particulary for his two goals in the Argentine superclasico between Boca and arch-rivals River Plate.
If Boca were to hold onto Medel, his transfer value could increase, depending on his performance with Marcelo Bielsa’s Chile side at the World Cup in June.
