Spartak has set a condition for Sevilla in the exchange of Manfred Ugalde for Kike Salas. A report from Ficherio indicates that the Moscow club requires a fixed cash payment from Sevilla, in addition to the transfer of the central defender, for a direct exchange to occur. Sevilla's head coach, Luis García Plaza, has approved the Costa Rican forward. The management aims to complete the transaction before the medical examination scheduled for July 3, 2026.

Agents for Spartak Moscow's forward Manfred Ugalde have offered his services to Spanish clubs Sevilla and Betis. Ugalde is said to be ready to depart from Spartak because he desires to compete in a top European league. No concrete decisions have yet been made by the La Liga teams, and it is reported that most clubs are postponing transfer decisions until after the 2026 World Cup.
