Nemanja Gudelj, a 34-year-old midfielder, is considering an offer to become a new player for Málaga CF and continue his career in Spain after becoming free following the end of his contract with Sevilla FC on June 30th. The recently promoted Malaga team in LaLiga is initially proposing a deal for one season.

The Serbian is currently without a team after seven seasons in Seville and can commit to another club even after the market closure. According to Canal Sur Radio, Malaga has taken a step to sign him while the player is also considering alternatives from Italy, other foreign leagues, and some Spanish teams.

Nemanja Gudelj considering Málaga CF's proposal

Málaga CF is seeking to add experience to strengthen its midfield upon their return to the top division. Gudelj fits this profile due to his seven seasons at Sevilla and his ability to perform both as a defensive midfielder and in the center of defense.

The offer from Malaga initially includes a one-year contract. The player is currently training on his own with a personal coach while deciding his next destination and has not yet reached an agreement with any of the interested clubs.

The possibility of continuing in LaLiga also allows Gudelj to stay close to Seville, where he has settled after his time at the Sanchez-Pizjuán. His status as a free agent also eliminates the need for Malaga to pay a transfer fee for his signing.

This is not the first Andalusian team linked to the player this summer. Gudelj's name was previously associated with Cádiz CF, although his representatives denied those reports. In Malaga's case, the possibility has not been ruled out, and the player is evaluating the conditions proposed.

Seven seasons of Nemanja Gudelj at Sevilla FC

Nemanja Gudelj joined Sevilla FC in the summer of 2019 and remained at the club until June 2026. The Serbian ended his contract after the sports management decided not to extend his deal, which expired at the end of the last season.

His departure came after the player himself had previously mentioned that his priority was to hear Sevilla before considering other offers. Ultimately, the club opted to revamp the squad, and Gudelj became a free agent on June 30th.

Sevilla has since altered its midfield. Lucien Agoumé and Manu Bueno remain in the squad, Nico Guillén has been promoted from the academy, and the club has brought in Jon Guridi as part of the reconstruction led by José Ignacio Navarro.

Gudelj will turn 35 years old in November, but his status as a free agent allows Malaga to negotiate without being restricted by the usual transfer schedule. His arrival at La Rosaleda would add a player with recent top-flight experience without incurring a transfer fee for the club.

The next move lies with Nemanja Gudelj. The Serbian must decide between the one-season proposal from Málaga CF and other options in Spain and abroad. Being a free agent after leaving Sevilla, his decision may come even after the transfer window deadline.
