Chelsea's Marin to join Sevilla on loan
Updated on

Summary The 24-year-old joined the Europa League winners last year on a five-year deal from Werder Bremen.

 

MADRID (AFP) - German international Marko Marin will join Sevilla on a season-long loan from Chelsea, the Spanish club confirmed on Friday.

 

"Marko Marin will spend next season at Sevilla on loan after the Nervion club and Chelsea reached an agreement," a statement on the Sevilla website confirmed.

 

"The operation is done save for the documentation being signed and the player passing a medical."

 

The 24-year-old joined the Europa League winners just last year on a five-year deal from Werder Bremen.

 

However, he saw his opportunities in the first team under both Roberto Di Matteo and Rafael Benitez limited by injuries and a loss of form as he made just 16 appearances, scoring one goal.

 

Sevilla are in need of a creative spark after selling Jesus Navas to Manchester City earlier this month for an initial fee in the region of 17.5 million euros ($23.2 million, 14.9 million).
