Sevilla eye Nathan Patterson transfer after failed January move with Everton

Sevilla are reportedly considering a summer move for Everton right-back Nathan Patterson after a potential transfer involving the defender failed to materialise during the January window.

The Scottish international had previously been discussed as part of negotiations between the two clubs earlier this year, but the deal ultimately did not progress.

However, reports from Spain suggest the La Liga side have not abandoned their interest.

According to Spanish outlet Vamos Mi Sevilla FC, Patterson remains on Sevilla’s radar as they begin planning for next season.

Everton had shown interest in Sevilla full-back Juanlu Sánchez during the winter transfer window and reportedly explored a deal worth €15 million plus Patterson on loan.

That proposal never moved forward, with Juanlu remaining at Sevilla and Patterson staying at Everton.

Despite that outcome, Sevilla are still monitoring the Everton defender as a potential addition.

Sevilla manager Matías Almeyda currently has Juanlu Sánchez and José Ángel Carmona as the club’s recognised right-backs.

However, the Spanish club are believed to be considering sales involving those players as part of efforts to improve their financial situation.

Sporting director Antonio Cordón is reportedly targeting low-cost alternatives to rebuild the squad while remaining within financial limits.

Within that strategy, Patterson has emerged as one of the preferred options. Nathan Patterson is reportedly viewed as the “chosen player” to strengthen the right side of Almeyda’s defence.

Loan deal reportedly being explored. The report claims Sevilla are initially exploring a loan move for the Everton defender.

This approach would allow the Spanish club to add a player with international experience while staying within their salary restrictions.

However, it remains unclear whether Everton would be willing to agree to a temporary move.

Patterson has struggled for regular minutes this season at Everton.

The right-back has featured for just 355 minutes across seven matches in all competitions, limiting his impact during the campaign.

With limited playing time, a summer move could become a possibility if Everton decide to reshape their squad.

Nevertheless, it remains too early to determine whether the club would approve a loan transfer.

Sevilla are expected to review their squad options ahead of the summer transfer window as they look to balance financial restrictions with squad improvement.

If Everton are open to offers, Patterson could become a realistic target once negotiations begin.

The final decision may depend on Everton’s defensive plans and Patterson’s role in the squad moving forward.
