Sevilla continues to bet on its youth academy, and one of the standout names currently is Kike Salas. The young defender, who recently renewed his contract with the Sevillian club until 2029, has become a key piece for García Pimienta. The Seville coach has managed to connect with several players on the team, enhancing their performance, and Salas is one of the main beneficiaries of this dynamic.

At just 22 years old, the center-back from Morón de la Frontera has solidified his place in Sevilla's main squad. This season, he has already played 14 games, nine of them as a starter, demonstrating not only his defensive solidity but also his ability to adapt to different roles in the defense, as he can also play as a left-back.

His positional change has been Garcia Pimienta's biggest success

Salas, who has been part of Sevilla's academy since he was 13, made his debut with the first team in September 2022, but it is in the current season that he has made the definitive leap. His composure, versatility, and maturity on the field have earned him the full confidence of García Pimienta, who considers him a fundamental pillar in his tactical scheme.

The center-back has also made significant strides internationally, debuting with the Spanish U-21 national team last November. With 52 games played and four goals in his career with Sevilla, Kike Salas symbolizes the present and future of the team, reaffirming the value of the youth academy in Nervión's project.
