Chelsea Football Club and Sevilla Fútbol Club have reached an agreement for the season-long loan of Marko Marin, subject to the completion of legal documentation and a medical.

The German international arrived at Chelsea last summer from Werder Bremen, but after some impressive displays on tour in America, in which he grabbed his first Chelsea goal on his debut against Seattle Sounders, a hamstring injury meant he had to wait until late September for a competitive bow.

His first league start came in January in the 1-0 defeat to Queens Park Rangers, with a first competitive goal following in February's 4-1 win over Wigan Athletic at Stamford Bridge. In total during 2012/13, Marin, who is 24, appeared 16 times in our colours.

Sevilla finished ninth in last season's La Liga table. You will be able to monitor Marko's progress during the campaign here on the official Chelsea website.

There goes his Chelsea career.

good turn. Wish him all the best, hope he will be fit and gets a lot minutes. Still young and has potential.

[The Skipper 20,593]

Brilliant loan, should slot in and hopefully replace Navas?

Good luck Marko.

[Billy. 2,742]

would have been better selling him wouldn't have it

[Jase 43,479]

Am surprised and it feels like an odd loan move with him going to Sevilla but it's a decent one and he will get more game time there than here next season. Good luck!

Hardly a surprise. With his poor first season and the return of De Bruyne and the arrival of Schurrle he is the 7th choice attacking midfielder (after Mata, Hazard, Oscar, Schurrle, KDB and Moses). Still good luck to Marko, hopefully he'll impress at Seville and show some of the stuff that made the people call him "German Messi" (I hate that moniker btw as I can't stand the Argentinian dwarf) .

good move for both, cant sell him now unless you want emile heskey in exchange so hopefully with a decent loan he is able to impress to some extent and we can recoup our transfer fee next summer

Hardly played much last season and somehow, this thread has got more pages than Azpilicueta, Cole, Cech's thread and just 1 behind Ramires's. Not bad...

To be fair this a lot of people come to this thread to make fun of the German messi ;-;

[bushman 2,043]

To make fun of him ? Not really, but he is a joke.

[zolayes 14,489]

loan should be a prelude to selling him

[KonohasOrangeFlash 2,607]

Best possible move in the current situation. No room for him but it's too early to let him go, so he can prove himself and get game time at Sevilla. All signs point to us selling him though, so hopefully he can increase his price tag.

[bushman 2,043]

Increase his price, like to what ?

Chelsea will be very lucky to get their money back, never mind any profit.

goodbye Marin,seriously doubt Youll ever pull a Chelsea Shirt on again

[OneMoSalah 8,788]

Who knows? What if he goes to Spain excels, comes back next year and gets a lot more games? Only a possiblity but hey you never know. Hes only 24 or 25 or something who knows.

[IkE 267]

This is one of these loans that is good for everybody... I hope I won't see him again with the Chelsea shirt tho.

By excels he has to score/assists at least 20 goals to be even considered along our midfield. Hazard/Mata/Oscar are guaranteed to be ahead, then there is Schurrle, Kevin and Moses. Basically his career here is finished unless he suddenly become one of the best player in Liga next season.
