Sevilla FC continues to have Sergi Roberto on its radar, despite the Catalan midfielder opting for the Italian Como in the last summer transfer window. His decision, based on personal reasons and the attractive project led by Cesc Fàbregas, left the Andalusian team without a reinforcement that would have been crucial in their weakened midfield.

Sergi Roberto has regained his form in Italy

Since his arrival at Como, Sergi Roberto has become a pillar of the team, establishing himself as an undisputed starter after some initial adaptation matches. When he was available, the Italian team experienced a clear upturn in their results, garnering two wins, two draws, and only one loss between matchdays 4 and 9 of Serie A. His contribution was so remarkable that he holds an impressive statistic: he has not lost a single ball in 528 minutes of play, something unprecedented in the major European leagues.

As reported by the newspaper AS, Sevilla, which has suffered from a lack of effectiveness in midfield for much of the season, sees Sergi Roberto as the ideal profile for their scheme. Xavi García Pimienta, the current coach of the Seville club, insisted until the last moment to have the player at Nervión, dreaming of uniting him with Saúl Ñíguez, who has recently recovered from an injury. With the player currently sidelined due to knee problems, Sevilla remains attentive to his situation, awaiting a new opportunity to try to incorporate him in the future.
