Odysseas Vlachodimos Seeks Departure from Newcastle United
February 18th, 2026, 20:30
Newcastle United’s goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos is reportedly looking to move away from the club at the conclusion of the current season. As per a report from SportWitness, the 31-year-old is eager to secure a transfer this summer.
Vlachodimos Aims for More Playing Time
The Greek international, who joined Newcastle from Nottingham Forest in 2024 for £20 million, has found regular game time hard to come by. With the club no longer considering him integral to their future plans, he is keen on leaving to increase his chances of playing regularly.
Last summer, Vlachodimos was loaned to Sevilla, where he has become a pivotal player for the team. His current representatives are working towards a permanent deal with the Spanish side once his loan expires. Whether Newcastle will be open to this transfer remains uncertain.
Having previously demonstrated his abilities at Nottingham Forest, Vlachodimos is seeking consistency in match play, and it appears that Sevilla is the ideal destination for him at this stage.
Newcastle Faces a Tough Decision on Vlachodimos
Newcastle is unlikely to recover the £20 million investment made in Vlachodimos, meaning they may have to accept a financial loss if they decide to sell. The development of this situation will be worth monitoring.
With Nick Pope and Aaron Ramsdale also on their roster, maintaining Vlachodimos against his wishes lacks practical sense. The club should look to make a deal while he still has value, as remaining on the bench could further diminish his transfer worth.
It will be intriguing to see if Sevilla makes a bid for him this summer, as he could be a valuable asset for them moving forward.
