Robbie Ure punches the air

Sevilla are on the verge of completing a transfer for Scotland Under-21 forward Robbie Ure, with the 22-year-old expected to undergo a medical at the club on Monday. The Spanish side have agreed a deal with Swedish outfit IK Sirius that the original report valued at £7.9m, though Ure is reportedly ready to sign a five-year contract to become a central figure in the attack at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan Stadium.

According to a live transfer tracker, Sevilla have actually agreed a fee closer to €9m for the striker, with the report describing the move as effectively finalised. Separately, Spanish outlet El Desmarque reports that Ure has already agreed personal terms and put pen to paper on a five-year deal that would run until 2031.

How much is the transfer actually worth?

The exact fee remains unclear, with figures varying across reports. While the original valuation put the move at £7.9m, outlets including Mucho Deporte and Mundo Deportivo now cite a figure closer to €9m-€9.5m including variables, with Sirius said to be holding out for around €9.5m as they weigh their options.

Ure has attracted interest well beyond Sevilla. Per a report from Onda Cero, Chelsea, Manchester City, Lorient and PAOK have all been linked with the forward, underlining the scale of competition Sevilla have had to overcome to get the deal over the line.

Ure has been one of the most sought-after strikers in Europe this season, scoring 20 goals and adding three assists in 20 appearances across all competitions. He started his career at Rangers, managing one goal in three appearances, before a move to Belgian club Anderlecht in 2023 yielded just a single senior outing.

How did his career take off in Sweden?

Ure's move to IK Sirius a year ago transformed his career, with the striker recording 31 goals and seven assists in 50 appearances for the Swedish club. His 15 league goals have driven Sirius to the top of the Allsvenskan table, where they hold a commanding 13-point lead at the midpoint of the season.

The breakout run traces back to a low-cost switch from Anderlecht in March 2025, with Swedish outlets cited by Estadio Deportivo reporting that Sirius paid only around €750,000 to sign him. The same report notes his contract with Sirius runs until 31 December 2029, a factor that has strengthened the Swedish club's negotiating hand. Elsewhere, Transfer Feed reports that Sirius had already rejected a £3.5m offer from Lecce, an indication of the competitive bidding Sevilla have had to navigate.

Ure's rise as the Allsvenskan's top scorer was already drawing attention last month, when he had scored 11 goals in 11 games and spoke of his hope that strong club form would earn him international recognition.

Which country will he represent internationally?

Ure remains uncapped at senior level and has yet to declare his international allegiance. Although eligible for Ukraine, the Scotland Under-19 international told BBC Scotland last month that his preference is to wait for a call-up from the Scotland national team, often referred to as the Tartan Army.

What happens next?

Ure is expected to travel to Sevilla within the next few days to undergo a medical and complete the remaining paperwork, according to Mucho Deporte. Should the latest Spanish reporting prove accurate, the next official step would be confirmation of the signing once his contract is formally registered, as outlined by El Desmarque.
