JuanluSánchez remains a clear target for Everton to strengthen the right-back position in the winter market after the shortcomings displayed this season.

Juanlu Sánchez, 22, has emerged as one of La Liga's most reliable young promises with Sevilla FC. He debuted in the 2021-22 season and has been a regular first-team player since then.

Last season, he played in 31 league games, scoring 4 goals and providing 4 assists. His versatility allows him to play as a pure right-back but also to join the attack when needed by Sevilla.

Everton in Need of a Right-Back

Everton failed to secure a right-back in the summer market, which is now recognized as a strategic mistake.

The problem is exacerbated because Seamus Coleman no longer maintains a consistent level due to age, Nathan Patterson has been hindered by injuries, and Jake O’Brien has been playing in the position despite it not being his natural role.

Why is Juanlu so appealing to Everton?

Juanlu offers youth, progressive performance, and a proven adaptation to La Liga; factors that justify his value for a Premier League team.

It is also reported that his injury history is minimal; Sevilla has not had to worry about his physical reliability recently. Moreover, he could likely pass a medical examination without any issues.

Obstacles in the Deal

One of the main challenges will be the price. Sevilla extended Juanlu's contract to 2029, with a raised release clause, increasing his cost.

Additionally, although Everton desires him, it is unclear if Juanlu would be willing to leave Sevilla, the club where he was trained, without attractive conditions being guaranteed.

What Would Everton Gain from the Signing?

For Everton, bringing in a right-back like Juanlu could mean increased defensive solidity and squad depth. It would be a bet on a future replacement who could thrive in the Premier League.

It would also help alleviate pressure on veteran players and enhance the team's competitiveness in tight matches, where offensive and defensive full-backs make a difference.

Juanlu seems like a logical choice for Everton if they decide to invest in naturalizing their right-back position. Sevilla considers him an important asset and expects a fair value. However, Everton is clear that rectifying their defensive weakness is urgent on their roadmap.

If Everton presents a compelling offer and Juanlu feels there is a genuine project at Goodison Park, a union benefiting both parties could occur. The winter market could be the ideal window to make it happen with Juanlu.
