Ultimately, he stayed for the first half of the season after they failed to persuade the Spanish team to let go of their star player.
According to ABC Sevilla, they have since made an effort to persuade the Nottingham Forest target to sign a new contract because his current one expires at the end of the current campaign.
The outlet recall that ‘previous attempts to convince’ the Argentine to extend ‘have not been successful’, and there is no guarantees they will manage to do so now.
He previously rejected offers from the La Liga side and to leave, with his wife pregnant at the time, as both Nottingham Forest and Lyon tried to sign him, but their offers were ‘insufficient’.
It’s reported that the Tricky Trees put €10m on the table, but with his contract situation the way it is, a January move could be on the cards if Real Betis want one last chance at making some money from a transfer.
