He Seville has closed a pre-agreement with the Valley Independent for the transfer of the Ecuadorian midfielder Patrick Mercadoa young 22-year-old soccer player international with his country who has become a revelation and a firm promise for the immediate future in Ecuadorian soccer.
The sports management led by Antonio Cordón has been working on this objective for some time and the impossibility of registering the footballer in the winter market, which closed this Monday, means that the idea is for Mercado to join the project from July 1. Sevilla, as Cordón already explained in Maupay’s presentation, has no margin with the salary limit and, in addition, the Ecuadorian’s non-EU status also prevents him from being able to join the Andalusian club for the moment, which has the Brazilian Marcao and the Chileans Gabriel Suazo and Alexis Sánchez registered as non-EU.

The president of Independiente del Valle, Santiago Morales, confirmed the agreement for Mercado with Sevilla, although without naming the Seville entity: “There is interest in Patrik Mercado; there is even a preliminary agreement with a great European team. The winter transfer market has already closed in Europe, so we believe that it will be finalized in the summer market.”
The Ecuadorian is a creative player, an offensive midfielder with vision of the game, arrival at the opponent’s area and goal, a profile that the current Sevilla squad does not have. Patrik Mercado is also already a fixture in the Ecuadorian team.
