Sevilla have confirmed a contract extension for Nemanja Gudelj until 2026.
The Serbian international was on a list of players with an expiring contract at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan this month and he will now remain in Andalucia.
Jose Luis Mendilibar has stuck by the 31-year-old since his arrival at the club, and he played a vital role in their seventh UEFA Cup/Europa League title win last month.
Gudelj’s versatility to play in defence and midfield has been a key factor in the club’s move to retain him for the upcoming campaign.
