Sevilla have moved quickly to bolster their central defence with the signing of Marco Andreolli from Inter on a season-long loan.
With Nicolas Pareja out until at least November and Daniel Carrico suffering a recurrence of his injury problems against Atletico Madrid at the weekend, the Andalucians have swooped in for the 29-year-old from under Fiorentina's noses.
Although Andreolli's contract with the Nerazzurri expires in 2017, Sevilla have negotiated a purchase option for the stopper next summer.
