La Liga Ligue 1 must pay €1.5m for release

Unai Emery's move away from Sevilla has taken longer than expected to sign off, but the La Liga side and Paris Saint-Germain are now close to tying up all the loose ends.

Issues had arisen given that one year remained on the three-time Europa League-winner's contract and neither party wanted to lose out financially.

In the end it will be the coach who gives in to Sevilla's demands, while his new club PSG will have to deposit a €1.5 million release clause - which would rise even further if the move is not secured before the beginning of next month.

"There is not much left now," sources close to the negotiations have told MARCA.

It is hoped that the Basque coach's exit can be wrapped up before the weekend and that Jorge Sampaoli, the man waiting in the wings to take over at the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, can be presented early next week.
