Ruben Vargas, a 27-year-old Swiss international, has attracted interest from several European clubs following his World Cup performances, where he has registered two goals and an assist. These clubs are aware of Sevilla's financial needs. According to news from Turkey, there is a potential offer from Trabzonspor. Brighton intends to submit a bid to Sevilla for the winger, and Villarreal is also reportedly interested.

Sevilla is reportedly waiting patiently for developments. Vargas, who has 65 caps and 13 goals for his country, remains focused on the tournament. The player has stated, including during a press conference, that he wishes to postpone any decision regarding his future until after the competition in the US, Mexico, and Canada is over. Transfermarkt estimates his current market value to be €12 million. In June 2026, it was reported that Sevilla would not sell him for less than €15 million.
