Bayer Leverkusen wants this star from Sevilla

Juanlu Sánchez returns to the European stage and is set to be one of the key names in the upcoming transfer market. The Sevilla youth product, already established in the elite, has drawn the interest of several major clubs on the continent after showing constant progression and a maturity beyond his years.

The 22-year-old Sevilla player has become a highly attractive prospect due to his versatility. Although his natural position is right-back, Juanlu Sánchez has shown that he can perform well in more advanced areas and even as a midfielder, a versatility highly valued in modern football.

Bayer Leverkusen Takes the Lead

Among all the clubs closely monitoring the player, it seems that Bayer Leverkusen has taken a step forward. The German side, always on the lookout for young talents with room for growth, sees in Juanlu Sánchez an ideal market opportunity to strengthen their squad with a player ready to compete from day one.

In the Bundesliga, they particularly appreciate his ability to adapt to different systems, his defensive intensity, and his attacking presence in the opposition's area. It is no coincidence that the interest has shifted from mere observation to a real intention to negotiate with the Andalusian club.

The Role of Loïc Badé in the Deal

In this potential deal, a significant name emerges that could be decisive: Loïc Badé. The French center-back, with recent experience at Sevilla and currently playing for Bayer Leverkusen, maintains an excellent relationship with the Seville squad and firsthand knowledge of Juanlu Sánchez's potential.

In Germany, they believe that Badé could act as a bridge in the negotiations, helping to convince the young player of the sporting project of the German club, where he would have a prominent role and continuity in one of Europe's most demanding leagues.

Sevilla Sets the Transfer Price

Sevilla is clear that they will not give away one of their top prospects. After rejecting a serious approach from Napoli last summer, the Nervión club has set Juanlu Sánchez's price at around €20 million.

The board believes that is the true value of a young player, developed at home and with experience in European competitions. If Bayer Leverkusen is willing to reach that figure, the deal could accelerate in the coming weeks.

For now, Juanlu Sánchez remains focused on Sevilla, but everything indicates that his name will once again be at the center of the market's attention. Europe is calling, and in Nervión, they understand that retaining him will not be easy if an offer reflecting his potential arrives.
