Newcastle defender Florian Lejeune has once again been linked with a summer switch to Sevilla this summer.
Recently, the Frenchman was named as a target for the La Liga side, who appear to be keen on bolstering their defensive reinforcements with Clement Lenglet’s potential departure in mind.
However, according to a report from the Mirror, Sevilla are only willing to part with a sum of £13 million in their pursuit of Lejeune.
The central defender was signed from Eibar only last summer by Rafa Benitez and after a difficult start to life in England, has established himself in Newcastle’s starting line-up.
Lejuene developed a formidable partnership next to Magpies captain Jamaal Lascelles and this is something that Benitez will hope to preserve ahead of what promises to be an exciting season.
A move to a club of Sevilla’s prestige could be of interest to Lejeune but if the Spanish club are to lure the player away from Newcastle, they’ll need to surely cough up a greater sum than £13m.
