Sevilla faces new competition for Oso's signature

Sevilla faces new competition for the renewal of Joaquín Fernández, 'Oso', with Fiorentina and other clubs interested in the young left-back. The emergence of Oso last season has raised the interest of several teams in Spain and Europe.

What has happened?

The player from Alicante of Argentine origin ended the season with the promise to meet with the club to discuss his renewal, as his contract ends in June 2027.

Why is it important for Sevilla?

Sevilla's intention is for Oso to have a first-team contract and an important release clause. However, the player is receiving offers that could stall his renewal.

What comes next?

Oso's father, a former footballer, coach, and sports scientist, is closely involved in his son's future and handles his affairs with his agency. The player's side does not want to rush and Sevilla needs to take a step to avoid a departure.

Sevilla finished the season in 13th place in La Liga, with 43 points, 12 wins, 7 draws, and 19 losses in 38 games. The competition for Oso is just one of the challenges the team must face in the summer.
