HE WILL RETURN TO HIS COUNTRY
According to ABC News, the Brazilian player, who is not part of the current plans of Sevilla's head coach Xavier Garcia Pimienta, may leave Sevilla in the coming days. The 28-year-old defender has started working to find a team in his home country of Brazil, where the transfer window is open until February 28.
