The future of Juanlu Sánchez is once again up in the air after a summer marked by rumors, meetings, and trips by executives, where it was assumed he was heading to Naples for a fee close to 17 million euros.

However, the outcome was quite different: the academy player remained at Sevilla FC. Now, after several weeks of competition, the feeling is that his continuity could be short-lived and the upcoming winter market will become a new stage for movements.

Radical change for Juanlu at Sevilla, signs point to his departure

In Italy, there was talk of a practically closed deal, but Antonio Cordón, head of the sports department at the Seville club, stated that there was never a formal offer for the full-back. However, he did not deny the conversations, and even Giovanni Manna, Napoli's sports director, was seen negotiating with the Andalusian club at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The reality is that nothing materialized, and Juanlu started the season under Matías Almeyda's orders.

As reported by EstadioDeportivo now, the big problem for the player is that he has failed to become an indisputable piece. In the league match against Girona, for instance, Almeyda opted for José Ángel Carmona at right-back, and despite Lukébakio's absence, he did not turn to Juanlu as a winger, choosing to play Ejuke on the opposite flank. It was only the Nigerian's injury that allowed the Montequinto player to come on in the 18th minute, though without a very decisive role.

Ejuke's injury, confirmed as a myofascial ailment that will keep him out for about three weeks, could open a spot in the lineup for Juanlu. However, the Argentine coach also has other alternatives, like shifting Rubén Vargas to the wing or giving playing time to Sow or Peque. Furthermore, the signing of Alexis Sánchez represents a reinforcement that could appear in that position at any moment.

Therefore, what seemed like a great opportunity may turn into a new test. Almeyda seems to lean more towards Carmona's defensive security and does not see Juanlu as the natural starter on the wing. Faced with this situation, all signs point to the academy player having to make the most of every minute to convince and prevent the club from considering offers in the upcoming winter transfer market.

The player's market value remains high, and there are many teams still keeping an eye on his situation. Sevilla needs to generate income to strengthen and does not rule out parting ways with players with good reputations if they do not secure a spot in the starting XI.

Juanlu Sánchez's story with Sevilla is at a point of uncertainty. From a promising talent destined to lead the right flank to a player without a clear spot in his coach's plans. If he fails to take a step forward, his immediate future could unfold far from Nervión.
