The transfer market is a tangled web, and Estadio Deportivo give a good example of that today.
Previously reporting Michy Batshuayi is very close to a loan from Chelsea to Sevilla, the local Spanish newspaper now has a new claim.
It had been reported both in England and Spain that before Antonio Conte lets Batshuayi go anywhere, he wants a replacement brought in.
West Ham’s Andy Carroll has been the man most linked over the past few days and if that move happens, Sevilla get Batshuayi.
But if it doesn’t, Estadio Deportivo report the club could move for Carroll instead.
The West Ham player is said to have told his agents he’d be keen on a move to La Liga, so would be attracted by the Sevilla interest.
Sevilla won’t make an approach for Carroll at this stage because it’s in their interests for the West Ham striker to move to Chelsea, so Batshuayi, the club’s first choice, can arrive at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.
