Sevilla has secured a loan deal for Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri for the remainder of the season.
Initially expected to represent Tunisia at the Africa Cup of Nations, Hannibal chose to withdraw from the tournament to focus on securing his future with his club.
Despite interest from several clubs, including Everton, the 20-year-old has decided to join Spanish top-flight club Sevilla. The deal includes an option to buy and is reportedly valued at £17.2 million.
Hannibal has featured in 10 matches for Manchester United this season, with his most recent appearance in the FA Cup third-round victory over Wigan on January 8. While he has only started one Premier League game and was not part of the squad in the 2-2 draw against Tottenham on Sunday,.
“Best of luck to Hannibal,” said Manchester United on the club’s website.
