Sevilla are to sign Galatasaray defender Marcao.

The Andalusian club has announced it has found the agreement with Galatasaray for his outright transfer.

Marcao, once he's passed the medical examinations, will sign a contract until 2027.

In all likelihood, the defender will replace in the Sevilla squad the France defender Jules Koundè, who is expected to be sold this summer.

MArcao stated last week: "I want to go and play in Sevilla, there I can develop my career."
