Sevilla submit €2 million bid to sign Alexander Djiku

Sevilla have reportedly launched an offer to secure the services of the tough-minded defender in the ongoing winter transfer window.

Spanish La Liga Santander club Sevilla has submitted a €2 million bid to sign Ghana international Alexander Djiku from RC Strasbourg this month.

Djiku, whose contract with RC Strasbourg expires in June 2023 has been a long-term target of the Spanish club following his explosive performance in the French Ligue 1.

According to French newspaper L’Équipe, the €2 million offer for the 28-year-old guardsman includes bonuses which are easily reached, as well as a potential cut of a future sale.

It is believed that RC Strasbourg are ready for the exit of their vice captain to free up space on the wage bill as they continue to battle for survival in the French top-tier league.

Sevilla are among the three bottom clubs in the Spanish La Liga which has forced them to enter the transfer market this month to strengthen their squad for relegation escape.

The French-born of Ghanaian descent was on the verge of completing a switch to German Bundesliga outfit TSG Hoffenheim last summer but the deal hit snag despite passing a medical examination.

Djiku has been pivotal in the defense of RC Strasbourg in the ongoing season with 18 appearances in the Ligue 1, scoring one goal and provided two assists.

Djiku made two appearances for the senior national team of Ghana at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
