Sabder Berge could move to Sevilla after rejecting Sheffield United. Genk

Sander Berge has been on Sevilla's agenda and he received an offer from Sheffield United, but the player rejected it. His refusal to go to the Premier League could mean Sevilla go and sign him.

Berge massively improved his performances last season and he played 40 matches for Genk. He is a defensive midfielder who can also play further up the field. In fact, he scored two goals and gave four assists.

His good performances in the Belgian League made him appear on Sevilla's radar. But not only the Spaniards were interested in him, because according to the media outlet 'HLN', he received an offer from Sheffield United, but he rejected it. 'HLN' reports that he turned it down because he is looking for a more ambitious club.

Sevilla would be good for him because they finished sixth in La Liga last season and will play the Europa League this term. The Andalusian side want to stay in the top half of the table, something which pleases Berge.

Aware of the interest Monchi has shown for him, he talked up Sevilla in comments to 'Estadio Deportivo': "Sevilla are a fantastic club with a great history and lots of quality players. I admire their fans and the atmosphere that there is at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan.
