Sevilla close to signing Scottish striker Ure in £7.9m deal
Sevilla near a £7.9m move to sign Scotland Under-21 striker Robbie Ure from Swedish club IK Sirius.
Sevilla are on the verge of signing Scottish striker Robbie Ure from IK Sirius in a £7.9 million deal. The 22-year-old completed his medical on Monday and signed a five-year contract at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium. Sevilla will pay £5.5 million upfront, with an additional £2.1 million in potential add-ons. This move makes Ure the third Scottish-born player to represent Sevilla, joining Ted McMinn and Duncan McVean Thomson.
Ure, a former Scotland Under-19 international, has been highly sought after across Europe, scoring 20 goals and providing three assists in 20 matches during the ongoing Swedish season. After beginning his career at Rangers and later joining Anderlecht, Ure's performances in Sweden have been exceptional, netting 15 league goals and leading Sirius to the top of the Allsvenskan table.
He is yet to commit to a national team and has expressed a preference to wait for a Scotland call-up.
