La Liga
Miguel Sierra, a 22-year-old winger, has become one of the big news from Sevilla at the start of this season thanks to two goals in the first six LaLiga matches and a release clause of 20 million euros. His performance opens up a scenario that the club must monitor: he is under contract until 2029, but his exit price is starting to gain more relevance due to his current prominence.
The Granada-born player once again decided a match on Wednesday at Riazor. He scored in minute 52 the only goal in the 0-1 victory against Deportivo and, seven minutes later, caused the expulsion of Angeliño after a tackle from behind. The victory left the team with 13 points after six matches and placed them high in the standings.

Miguel Sierra secures a fixed place with Luis García Plaza
The commitment of Luis García Plaza to Miguel Sierra has been constant since the beginning of the season. The winger has started in all six LaLiga matches and has already surpassed 400 minutes, scoring two goals without needing penalties to reach that total.
His impact is not limited to the attacking area. Against Deportivo, he made over ten recoveries, attempted more than ten dribbles, and won 12 duels. No player from the club had achieved these three figures in a single match since Opta's data collection began in the 2005/06 season.
Throughout the season, he has won 41 duels, a number that places him among the best LaLiga attackers in terms of stats. Furthermore, he has already provoked two expulsions: that of Yuri Berchiche against Athletic Club and that of Angeliño at Riazor.
Miguel Sierra has also entered a short list of academy players. He is the third player with a reserve team jersey to score at least two goals in the first six matches of the team in a season, following José Antonio Reyes in 2001/02 and José Ángel Carmona in 2022/23.

Miguel Sierra's release clause under scrutiny
Sevilla renewed Miguel Sierra's contract on April 16 until June 30, 2029. The agreement set a release clause of 20 million euros, a protection put in place when the player was just starting with the first team.
Five months later, the situation has changed. Transfermarkt currently values him at 300,000 euros, last updated on June 23, prior to his solidification as a starter during this season.
The club has not announced any new negotiations, so any contract revision remains a future scenario. In Spain, those 20 million are now a data point that conditions the safeguarding of a player who went from playing five matches with the first team last season to being a starter in the first six matches of the new season.
Luis García Plaza has made it clear that he will continue to count on him as long as he maintains his performance. For Miguel Sierra, the next step will be to sustain these numbers; for the club, deciding whether a contract signed just five months ago needs reviewing before that clause could attract clubs from Spain or abroad.
