Sevilla Release clause is 50m euros

Speculation surrounding the future of Sevilla forward Vitolo has been eased, after the club agreed a new deal with the player to extend his current contract from 2020 to 2022.

The Spaniard will be one of the highest earners, gaining parity Ever Banega.

A 50 million euro release clause will also now be inserted into his contract.

Coach Eduardo Berizzo was keen to ensure the forward would be signed up for a longer period as he looked to keep hold of one of his key players.

According to Diario de Sevilla, the club has reached an agreement with the player's representatives and the contract will officially be signed over the coming days.

The striker was convinced the best thing to do was stay on in Sevilla after Atletico Madrid's transfer ban was upheld.

Los Rojiblancos signed Kevin Gameiro last year after he was also offered a contract extension at Sevilla, which he rejected, and moved on.

However, plans are for Los Nervionenses to make Vitolo their club captain and build a team around him over the next five years.

He is expected to arrive for a conversation with Berizzo and then later travel to Japan for pre-season.

At a press conference on Monday, along with Banega and Guido Pizarro, President Jose Castro will publicly announce the news regarding the forward's renewal.
