Sevilla FC cancelled the signing of Ecuadorian midfielder Patrik Mercado from Independiente del Valle due to medical concerns. The transfer, originally valued at six million euros, was suspended after Mercado sustained a serious knee injury in March involving a torn anterior cruciate ligament and meniscus damage.

Following the cancellation, a financial dispute has emerged between the two clubs. Reports from Ecuador suggest Independiente del Valle may claim approximately 3 million euros due to the failed transfer. However, Sevilla denies any obligation to pay this amount, maintaining that the decision is supported by the specific terms and conditions established in their agreements.
