PSG want to sign Sevilla goalkeeper Sergio Rico to permanent deal | OneFootball

Sergio Rico has only played a single match for PSG, but the French champions are convinced he’s worth his weight in gold.

According to Mundo Deportivo, PSG want to sign the Spain international to a permanent deal.

Though PSG have a €10m option to buy the player from Sevilla, they consider the price too expensive and want to negotiate the price down to an ‘acceptable’ level.

Rico, who is under contract at Sevilla until 2021, made three saves during PSG’s 2-1 win over Brest three weeks back and PSG are ready to make him their permanent number two goalkeeper.

Keylor Navas, who signed from Real Madrid in a €15m deal back in August, has been phenomenal, earning a whopping 10 clean sheets in just 14 starts in goal this season.

It’s worth remembering that PSG still own the rights to Alphonso Areola until 2023. Areola is at Real Madrid on a season-long loan and moved to Spain as part of the Navas deal.
