A deal could happen today, with Fichajes.com reporting several sources are stating Alexis is set to be released by Udinese and join Sevilla.
In fact, he already has an agreement, having said "yes, I do" to the Nervión side to strengthen their attack.
Pending a possible departure, Sevilla's plan is to welcome the Chilean and two other signings on deadline day today.
Now 36, Alexis is returning to LaLiga after a successful time with Barcelona.
