Player Valuation: £40m
Johann Vogel has left Real Betis by mutual agreement after enduring an unhappy year in Spain.
The Swiss international arrived at the Manuel Ruiz de Lopera from Milan as part of the deal which saw Ricardo Oliveira go in the other direction.
However, he had not made a first-team appearance this season and was in the process of suing the club over unpaid fees owed to him.
The midfielder has failed to hold down regular football since leaving PSV Eindhoven in 2005 and will now be hoping to get his career back on track.
Everton were reported to be interested in Vogel over the summer and may be set to make another approach for the player now that he has become available.
Be a good signing if we get him.
They tried to make me go to rehab, i said no no no.
