The Forward Almeyda Wants for Sevilla Unveiled
After a recent victory against Barcelona, Sevilla faced an unexpected defeat to Real Mallorca. In response, coach Matías Almeyda is looking to strengthen the squad for the remainder of the season.
The Forward Almeyda Wants for Sevilla Unveiled: Gio Simeone
Almeyda has expressed interest in acquiring forward Gio Simeone. The 30-year-old striker is currently at Torino but is on loan from Napoli. Sevilla aims to negotiate the termination of Simeone’s loan due to his limited chances at Torino.
According to reports from ‘Vamos mi Sevilla’, a potential transfer could occur as soon as January. Simeone has previously shown interest in a move to Spain, particularly to Sevilla, where his father played. Since leaving Argentina, he has spent his entire career in Italy.
Current Situation of Gio Simeone
- Disputed 8 matches with Torino.
- Scored 2 goals this season.
- Open to joining Sevilla if his situation does not improve.
Possible Transfers at Sevilla
For Sevilla to complete this transfer, it will need to generate funds by selling some players. Napoli is reportedly interested in acquiring Juanlu Sánchez, a 22-year-old left-back.
Napoli had attempted to sign Sánchez in the summer, viewing him as a replacement for the experienced Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Sevilla is expected to demand €20 million for Sánchez, but a deal could include Simeone to lower the cost, provided that Napoli cancels his loan arrangement with Torino.
This strategic movement underlines Sevilla’s aim to bolster their attack during the winter transfer market while also addressing their current roster dynamics effectively.
