INITIAL AGREEMENT BETWEEN EVERTON AND SEVILLA FOR THE LOAN OF SANDRO RAMÍREZ

Sevilla FC and Everton FC have reached an agreement for the loan of Sandro Ramírez, provided the striker passes a medical. 

Sandro Ramírez Castillo (born in Las Palmas of the Canary Islands, 9th of July, 1995) is a renowned striker in Spain, having  just this summer moved to the Premier League. Despite his move to the Premier League, Sandro has not had the chance to adapt to English football, playing just eight matches at Goodison Park in the league, one League Cup match and six Europa League clashes. While at Everton, he has scored just one competitive goal against Atalanta.  

Grown in Las Palmas' academy, Sandro would eventually be scouted by FC Barcelona and would make a move to 'La Masía' early in his career. At just 18 years-old, in the 13/14 season, he would make his professional debut with Barcelona's reserve side.  He would go on to make 31 appearances, scoring a magnificent seven goals - with two assists - which was enough to see him called up to the First Team. Luis Enrique would be the man to trust the young forward to play seven league matches, three Champions League matches and two Copa del Rey matches for Los Culés - with Sandro scoring two league goals, one goal against Ajax in the Champions League and one goal in the Copa del Rey in the process. His eventual record with Barcelona B would stand at 30 matches played and eight goals scored. 

In the 2015/16 season he made the definitive jump to the First Team, though the fierce competition for a First Team-place prevented him from becoming a regular. Despite this, he played 20 matches across La Liga, the Champions League, the Club World Cup, the Spanish Supercup and the Copa del Rey (where he scored three goals). Without opportunities at FC Barcelona, the striker naturally looked for a new home and that home would be Málaga CF - where he would show his best form. The forward would take no time in becoming indispensable to his new side, playing 30 league matches, scoring 14 goals and adding two Copa del Rey goals in one cup appearance for the Andalusian side.    

At just 22 years-old the Canary Island-native has the chance to recapture his spectacular growth in past seasons and find a place in Vincenzo Montella's attacking line-up.
