Manchester United expect left-back Alex Telles to join Sevilla on a season-long loan.
Sources have said a deal is likely but has not been completed but Telles is set to join Sevilla before La Liga starts next Friday.
Telles, 29, joined United from Porto for €15million rising to €20m on deadline day in October 2020 and started 22 times last season. Sevilla signed Anthony Martial on loan from United in January.

The arrival of fellow left-back Tyrell Malacia from Feyenoord effectively signalled the end of Telles's United career and he played as an auxiliary centre-back and midfielder during the pre-season tour of Thailand and Australia.
Telles started at left-back against Rayo Vallecano on Sunday but that friendly was arranged for United's second string after the first XI played against Atletico Madrid in Oslo on Saturday.
Telles is contracted to United until 2024 and the club has the option of an additional year.
United are also willing to sell full-backs Brandon Williams and Aaron Wan-Bissaka. Williams, 21, has not appeared at all in pre-season due to injury and his playing prospects have not improved with the arrival of Malacia.
Wan-Bissaka, 24, has not started in any of United's six friendlies and was unavailable for both games at the weekend. The right-back reported for training at United's Carrington complex on Tuesday.
United are open to recruiting a right-back as Ethan Laird has agreed to join Watford on loan.
Centre-backs Eric Bailly, Phil Jones and Axel Tuanzebe are also available for transfer as United look to trim the defensive department following the additions of Malacia and centre-back Lisandro Martinez.
