Bordeaux coach Laurent Blanc could be on the move to Spain at the end of this season.
Blanc is regarded among the best young coaches in Europe and has been linked with Manchester United and Juventus this season.
El Confidencial says Sevilla sports director Monchi has already reached a deal with Blanc about moving to Spain in the summer.
The agreement will see Blanc takeover Sevilla like an English Premiership manager, with the Frenchman also taking charge of the club's youth system.
