Sevilla also confirmed the transfer on their official website.
A source close to Fenerbahce revealed to Turkish-Football that Sevilla signed the Denmark international for a €13 million fee.
The Denmark international will become Sevilla’s sixth signing of the summer if the transfer is completed.
Liverpool were closely linked with the 29-year-old centre-back. The Reds had been keeping tabs on Kjaer according to Turkish-Football.
Fenerbahce were prepared to wait until the end of the transfer window for a higher transfer fee from the Reds or AC Milan.
The Istanbul giants were however, forced to rush through the transfer fee to raise funds in order to sign a striker.
Fenerbahce were forced into selling a high value player due to Financial Fair Play pressure.
Galatasaray were suspended from European competition last season due to going over budget.
