Mikael Lustig has revealed he nearly signed for Sevilla during his first year as a Celtic player.
The former Parkhead defender, who signed on January 1, 2012 and left following the 2018/2019 season, has opened up on his time in the east end of Glasgow. Lustig was forced to wait a couple of months to make his debut for Celtic under Neil Lennon against Aberdeen in a 1-1 at Pittodrie. It took Lustig a bit of time to win the Celtic fans round as he had to play second fiddle to Adam Matthews and Emilio Izaguirre in the early stages of his career in Glasgow.
Lustig's first six months didn't go well in the green and white hoops, and could have seen him end his career in the Scottish Premiership earlier than expected. La Liga outfit Sevilla inquired about the Swedish defender to buy him or take him on loan to Spain, but he was urged to stay.
