Anticipating his transition to Sevilla Football Club, Brian Oliván is eager for the upcoming journey.
Sevilla FC is actively seeking a new left-back, with Brian Oliván emerging as a potential target. The Spanish club is showing interest in the 31-year-old defender, who recently ended his contract with Espanyol[1][2]. Oliván views Sevilla as an ideal destination to revive his career, drawn by the club's prestige and competitive environment[1][2].
Currently, Sevilla FC only has Adria Pedrosa for the left-back position, as Valentin Barco left in January[3]. Contacts with Oliván will be resumed this week to sound out his possible incorporation into the team[4].
While there are no specific mentions of other clubs competing actively for Oliván's signature, Sevilla FC is prioritizing strategic and cost-effective signings. The club's financial constraints might limit the number of suitors willing to match or exceed any potential offer from Sevilla[1].
Oliván is currently a free agent, having finished his three-year stint at Espanyol. This status makes him an attractive option for clubs looking to strengthen their squads without incurring significant transfer fees[1][5]. Last season, Oliván played 17 league games in the first division, recording a single assist[6].
The summer transfer window of 2025 features numerous players available on free transfers, which could influence the competitive landscape. However, Oliván's experience in La Liga and his specific position as a left-back might make him a more targeted signing for Sevilla, given their needs in that area[5].
Nicolas Tagliafico is another free player that interests Sevilla FC for their left side[7]. Everton is also reportedly interested in Tagliafico, but their economic offer may be beyond Sevilla FC's current possibilities[8]. Both Tagliafico and Oliván are to the liking of Sevilla FC's sporting management[9].
As Sevilla FC is currently back at work, Antonio Cordon is working diligently on the signing of a left-back for the team[10]. Kike Salas and Jose Angel Carmona have served as temporary solutions when Pedrosa was unavailable[11].
Sources close to Oliván suggest that he sees Sevilla FC as a very good option for his next future[12]. Oliván is seeking a new team to gain more prominence[13]. The Perico club, where Oliván fulfilled his contract, has not been directly mentioned in the context of this potential signing[14].
Negotiations for Juanlu Sánchez have been reactivated, indicating that Sevilla FC is actively pursuing multiple options to strengthen their squad[15]. As the transfer window unfolds, fans eagerly await updates on the potential signing of Brian Oliván and the impact he could have on the team's performance next season.

Sevilla FC, given its need for a left-back, is considering both Brian Oliván and Nicolas Tagliafico as potential signings, aiming to bolster its squad without incurring significant transfer fees. While Oliván's experience in La Liga and specific position as a left-back might make him a target for Sevilla, the club is also interested in Tagliafico, despite Everton's potential higher economic offer.
