PSV winger Esmir Bajraktarevic was close to joining Sevilla. According to Reprezentacija.BA, Sevilla and Benfica were both competing to sign Bajraktarevic, with the Spanish club having an advantage. However, Sevilla failed to complete the deal with PSV before the transfer window closed in Spain. Sevilla intended a loan move. A source close to the player, cited by Reprezentacija.BA, mentioned Sevilla's advantage and that PSV's €8 million asking price was a problem.

On the day the transfer window closes in Spain, Sevilla approached PSV regarding Esmir Bajraktarevic. According to Eindhovens Dagblad, a transfer of the 21-year-old Bosnian will not happen. Sevilla has now withdrawn its interest in Bajraktarevic.

PSV's 21-year-old winger, Esmir Bajraktarevic, who holds both Bosnian and American citizenship, could still depart the club, with Spanish side Sevilla being a potential destination. Sevilla joins a list of clubs from previous rumors that originated in the player's home country of Bosnia and Herzegovina. Those earlier reports suggested interest from Italy and Croatia, specifically naming Fiorentina, Lazio, and Dinamo Zagreb. A potential deal would have to be concluded before the Spanish transfer window closes on September 1st. The Bosnia-Herzegovina international has 20 caps and one goal for his country. His contract with PSV is until June 2029 and his current market value is €8.00m, according to Transfermarkt. It was reported that in August 2026, PSV was seeking a fee several million Euros higher than his market value. Bajraktarevic joined the Dutch club from the New England Revolution in January 2025 for a fee reported to be €3 million.
