# Chelsea target Sarabia demands wage increase

Reported Chelsea transfer target Pablo Sarabia is demanding a wage increase, with the Sevilla winger yet to agree to a new contract.

The 26-year old Spaniard will see his contract with the Rojiblancos expire in the summer of 2020, and Sevilla are keen to tie him down to a new long-term deal.

The Andalusian club are confident that a deal can still be struck, with the intention of increasing Sarabia’s surprising low release clause up from €18million, according to [Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/siviglia-un-attaccante-pone-le-condizioni-per-restare-80733).

Chelsea will be buoyed by Sarabia’s request for a higher salary, with the Blues certainly able to spend more on wages than the La Liga outfit.

However, the Blues face competition from a host of top European clubs for his signature, including Manchester United and Real Madrid.
