Cesar Navas described Sevilla's Kike Salas as a possible newcomer to Spartak Moscow, stating it would be an excellent signing for the club. Navas noted that Salas is a left-footed central defender with a very good ability to play out from the back. Navas also noted that his height and impressive jumping help him in aerial duels.

Spartak has set a condition for Sevilla regarding an exchange of Manfred Ugalde for Kike Salas. According to Ficherio, the Moscow club is blocking a direct exchange deal unless Sevilla includes a fixed monetary payment in addition to the transfer of the central defender. The management wants to conclude the deal before the medical examination scheduled for July 3, 2026.

Spartak Moscow has made an offer to Sevilla for Kike Salas, a 24-year-old Spanish defender. The proposed deal from the Moscow club is for €10 million, and they are offering the player a salary four times higher than his current earnings. This follows a previous attempt by Spartak to acquire Salas last summer with an offer of €5 million plus €2 million in bonuses, which was rejected by Sevilla's management. The portal Transfermarkt estimates the footballer's transfer value at €14 million. Salas, who joined Sevilla in January 2023, has a contract that runs until June 30, 2029, and has also been linked with Lazio and CSKA Moskva. He has four caps for the Spain U21 team and made 26 appearances in the 25/26 LaLiga season, scoring 2 goals.
