Sevilla sign Carrico permanently

Sevilla have turned Daniel Carrico's loan deal from Reading into a permanent transfer. The Portuguese midfielder moved to England from Sporting Lisbon in January 2013, but failed to make his impact felt as his side were relegated from the Premier League in his first season at the Madejski Stadium.

With Reading quickly deeming him surplus to requirements, Carrico went to Spain on a season-long loan last summer.
He helped Sevilla earn a fifth-placed finish in the 2013/14 campaign, as well as a Europa League glory after a thrilling penalty shoot-out victory over Benfica.
Carrico will now be remaining in Andalusia, with Reading having sanctioned a sale.
It is reported that the fee of around £1.5million has helped Sevilla secure the 25-year-old.
Reading’s director of football Nick Hammond told the club’s official website: “We would like to wish Daniel all the very best.
“It’s a good deal for him and for Reading Football Club.
“He joined us last year at a difficult time for the team and when he was not up to full match fitness, but has gone to Spanish football, which has been great for him, and has done extremely well.
“He’s a fantastic individual and we wish him all the best at Sevilla.”
