Sevilla president Jose Castro has confirmed that the La Liga giants are planning a move for Inter Milan midfielder Ever Banega.
The Argentine only left Spain for Italy on a free last summer, but has his heart set on a return to Seville.
The two teams are yet to agree on a price for Banega, but Castro told Radio Sevilla via Football Italia that he is keen to see the 28-year-old return to Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
“Banega? In football, you can never say never. He’s won so much with Sevilla and he’s a fantastic player,” Castro said.
“We don’t know the will of his club, but he may decide to come back here, where he had his best years.
“Jovetic and Banega are different situations; we’ve worked a lot on one and the other can grow in the next few days.
“There are no talks with Inter, but our sporting director and Banega are talking.
“We can’t guarantee him the wages he gets at Inter, but who knows…”
