Sevilla calls up all signings and six academy players for league debut Luis García Plaza, Sevilla's manager, has announced the first squad list for the 26-27 season, featuring all summer signings and six academy players. The team, which finished last season in 16th place with 34 points (9 wins, 7 draws, and 15 losses), aims for a better start against Rayo Vallecano.
Who are the new signings? Scottish striker Robbie Ure is the latest addition after completing his work permit process. Also included are goalkeeper Vlachodimos, defender Sangante, midfielders Juan Iglesias and Guridi, and full-back Fran González. Julio Díaz rounds out the group of new arrivals.
What role will the academy players have? García Plaza has warned that some youngsters will see playing time. The six called-up academy players are Rafa Romero, Iker Muñoz, Manu Bueno, Nico Guillén, Edu Altozano, and Ibra Sow. The manager relies on their contributions amid the lack of reinforcements in the transfer market.
What does Sevilla expect in its debut? The team, which conceded 51 goals and scored 39 last season, aims to improve defensively. The next opponent is Rayo Vallecano, but the big challenge will be the match against Real Madrid on February 21, 2027. Currently, Alfon González is injured and unavailable.
