Aleix Vidal is linked with Sevilla once again Transfer Market - Barcelona He could be a good fit in Machin's system

Sevilla have hired Pablo Machin as their new coach and this should see them embrace the flanks in the 2018/19 season, which means they'll require depth when it comes to wingers and wing-backs.

As a former Sevilla player, Aleix Vidal is constantly linked with a return to the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan and the fact that the wide man would fit one of Machin's needs means he is being considered once again.

Even though Sevilla already have Jesus Navas and Sebastien Corchia, they'll need depth if they are to compete in three competitions next season, in addition to the Supercopa de Espana, and Vidal is still highly regarded in the Andalusian capital.

Sevilla even reached an agreement with the player in January for him to return south, but the transfer never happened as a result of Barcelona's insistence that a fee of 12 million euros be paid, plus 3m euros of potential add-ons.

The club will keep an eye on his situation over the course of the summer to see if there is an opportunity to bring the 28-year-old back.
