Sevilla FC plans four signings and four departures in the summer transfer market.
The transfer market is entering its final week and Sevilla FC, like many other clubs, still has work to do. The revolution that José Ignacio Navarro has tried to make this summer has been drastic, but there are still several loose ends to tie up to avoid unnecessary problems until the next transfer window.
The team's good performance made them win against Athletic Club in their own stadium, but no one was unaware that the last changes made by García Plaza were patches in front of the bench's lack of depth. Julio Díaz, placed as a winger, and Juan Iglesias, replacing Sangante, were the coach's cries to the sky for this last week of the market to provide solutions. And, if possible, before Saturday.
The plans of the sports management of Sevilla FC are to make around 4 signings and 4 departures. The issue that now focuses the attention of José Ignacio Navarro is the transfer of Rubén Vargas to Olympiacos. In the last days, the club has moved the name of the Swiss player, as well as the one of Lucien Agoumé, who has Arab clubs interested in him. The difference between both is that the French player does not want to leave, while the winger has already decided to do so.
The Swiss player did not accompany his teammates to Bilbao to avoid the operation, which is advanced, from being truncated by a possible injury. Nothing out of the ordinary considering the player's history. The negotiations between both clubs gained momentum between Thursday and Friday, the Greeks inquired about the price of the winger and Sevilla exposed its position. Vargas has decided to leave and the proposal of Olympiacos, as of today, is the most attractive one that has arrived.
Departure of the discarded
Sevilla FC wants to get rid of 15 million euros, a figure that, between fixed and variable, may be paid by the Greeks. With this sale, the sports management wants to make two more incorporations: the substitute of Vargas and a midfielder. They would join the striker who, yes or yes, wants Luis García Plaza. Already three signings. The fourth would be possible if one of the discarded consummates his departure. Cardoso, Marcao, and Adrià Pedrosa are in that situation.
The Catalan has several Second Division teams that have tried to contact him, but no option has materialized yet. The left-back would be covered by Suazo, Oso, and Julio Díaz, so keeping the former Espanyol player would not make sense. Everything indicates that he will leave. However, the coach wants a central defender more and, for that, it is important that one of those who are in the squad leaves. Either Cardoso or Marcao. The Brazilian is being looked for a destination in his country, while the situation of the Portuguese defender is a real X-file.
Marc Guiu remains the striker desired by Sevilla FC
What José Ignacio Navarro is clear about is that the priority is the arrival of the third striker. Many names have been tried out from his office, with Ilenikhena being the one who came closest to succeeding until Al-Ittihad had a problem with its finances. From Sevilla, they do not have many hopes that the Saudis will change their stance in the next few days and are studying other options. One of them, the one that they like the most, but that may be the most complicated one, is Marc Guiu. The Chelsea player wants to leave the English club and has options both in Spain and in Italy. His entourage admits open contacts, but that there is still nothing decided.
Current situation of Sevilla FC
Sevilla FC is currently in first place in the League with 6 points, 2 wins, and 0 losses in 2 games. The team has a 2-point advantage over Alaves. Their next game is on August 29 against Atlético Madrid at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán stadium.
Conclusion
Sevilla FC is looking to strengthen its squad with four signings and four departures in the summer transfer market. The club wants to take advantage of the sale of Rubén Vargas to make two more incorporations. The current situation of the team is positive, but the sports management must work to maintain the advantage in the League.
