Joan Jordán, a 32-year-old midfielder, ends his time as a player at Sevilla after completing his move to Estrela da Amadora. The operation is carried out at no transfer cost, with Sevilla having to continue paying a majority of the remaining salary until 2027, while the Portuguese club will assume the rest.

The departure allows Sevilla to free up at least part of one of the highest wages in their squad. According to journalist from El Chiringuito, Gonzalo Tortosa, Jordán has not waived the amounts agreed in his contract, and the only solution found to unlock his departure was to split the salary cost between both clubs.

Joan Jordán leaves Sevilla without salary forgiveness

Joan Jordán still had one year left on his contract, until June 2027, following the extension he signed in January 2022. His continuity had become a significant financial issue the club wanted to address during this transfer window.

Estrela da Amadora incorporates the midfielder through a free transfer and has signed him to a contract for the next two seasons, until 2028. Sevilla, however, is unable to completely rid themselves of the salary impact and will continue to pay part of his wages.

The club understood that accepting this arrangement was the only way to generate some savings. Reports indicate that Jordán occupied around €7 million of the wage bill, though the specific amount each club will assume in the operation has not been disclosed.

The player had been excluded from the sporting plans during pre-season and was training separately from the main group. This situation led to tensions between his camp and Sevilla as both sides sought a solution before the start of LaLiga.

Sevilla bears the cost of Joan Jordán's departure

Sevilla frees up another of its highest wages

Joan Jordán's departure continues the salary reduction process undertaken this summer. The club had already managed to alleviate its wage bill with operations like the departures of Tanguy Nianzou and Rafa Mir, two contracts that also influenced the sports planning.

Jordán joined Sevilla from Eibar in the summer of 2019. He later extended his contract until 2027 but lost sporting importance in recent seasons, spending the 2024/25 season on loan at Deportivo Alavés before returning to Nervión. However, he has always been a player who has caused problems at Sevilla.

His departure also increases the margin available for the sports management to continue reshaping the squad before facing LaLiga. Sevilla is still working on both new signings and offloading players who are not part of the coaching staff's plans.

The agreement with Estrela da Amadora definitively closes a seven-year chapter since his initial arrival at Nervión. Joan Jordán will now continue his career in Portugal until 2028, while Sevilla will still cover part of his salary but manages to free up a portion of one of the wages that most impacted their salary cap.
