The Countdown Begins for Sevilla FC

The Sevilla FC starts this week the countdown to close the 25-26 season, where it will give losses for the sixth consecutive year. The Sevillian team is also preparing for the return to work, which will begin on Saturday with the first medical recognition.

Coach Luis García Plaza wants to count on a new reinforcement for the goal in that start of the preseason, in addition to resolving the possible continuity of Alexis Sánchez. The Madrid coach has spent a few days on vacation in Ibiza, but is in constant contact with José Ignacio Navarro for the planning of the team.

The Coach's Desire

The coach's first desire is to arrive on Saturday with the signing of a goalkeeper. The most desired option for the goal is Odysseas Vlachodimos. The commitment of the Greek-German goalkeeper, who has always felt comfortable in Sevilla, is being fundamental for the leaders to advance in the negotiation.

The Current Situation of the Team

Sevilla FC finished the season in 13th position in La Liga, with 43 points, 12 wins, 7 draws and 19 losses in 38 games. The team also suffered a defeat in their last game, against Celta Vigo, on May 23, 2026.

The Return of Vlachodimos

The return of Vlachodimos is complex, but Sevilla remains optimistic. The goalkeeper has felt important and loved in Nervión, and has understood that LaLiga is the ideal place for his conditions. In this season in Sevilla, despite the sports difficulties, he has recovered his condition as a starter with the Greek national team, so Vlachodimos wants to maintain that status.

Sevilla understands that it will have to pay a larger amount of money than last year, when Vlachodimos arrived in very favorable conditions; the goalkeeper is also willing to make an effort to reach an agreement with Newcastle, the club where he has two years left on his contract. The English team's leg is being the most expensive, but the player's desire to play for Sevilla must be essential to overcome the obstacles and find a formula that also pleases the Urracas.
