With the January transfer window approaching, Sevilla FC is already working on strengthening a squad that needs adjustments to compete at the highest level. The sports management, led by Víctor Orta, has set the acquisition of a winger and a striker as priorities, positions that have been weakened following the departure of Lucas Ocampos and the injury to Chidera Ejuke. Additionally, the lack of goals from Isaac Romero and Kelechi Iheanacho compels them to seek immediate solutions to enhance offensive effectiveness, where Lukébakio has been the only standout so far.
The club's financial margin is tight, with about 2.5 million euros available from the sale of Ocampos to Rayados de Monterrey. This amount comes from the 20% allowed to spend after exceeding the salary cap, along with the savings on his wage. However, this limited budget complicates the possibility of securing two quality reinforcements, prompting Sevilla to seek additional income through the departure of less prominent players with high wages.
Among the potential departures, Suso stands out, whose contract expires in June and could be transferred to Mexican football, Saudi Arabia, or even to Juventus, according to rumors. Other names like Gonzalo Montiel and Marcao are also in the mix for potential sales if attractive offers are received.
The club is confident in balancing its books to finalize two key signings in January, crucial to facing the rest of the season with certainty.
