Sevilla have completed the signing of Steven Nzonzi from Stoke City for £7million, according to Sky sources.
Sky Sports reported earlier on Thursday that the Midlands club had accepted the bid from the Europa League winners after an initial offer of £3m was rejected last month.
Nzonzi, 26, had a year left on his Stoke contract and chief executive Tony Scholes previously stated he and the club had hoped Nzonzi would sign a new deal.
But manager Mark Hughes confirmed Nzonzi was discussing his personal terms with the Spanish side and it is believed the deal has now been finalised.
Hughes said on Wednesday: "It's been well documented there's been interest from Sevilla.
"We've got to a point where the club is comfortable with the deal Sevilla have come up with, so we've given Steven permission to speak with them.
"We worked really hard to convince Steven his future lay here but it didn't seem to be enough."
