Sevilla is facing a key moment regarding the situation of the Argentine full-back Marcos Acuña. After returning from his vacation following the Copa America victory with Argentina, Acuña has been training alone at the club's training ground. This is due to an injury that kept him out of competition for a significant part of the tournament and from which he does not seem to have fully recovered. This situation has led coach Xavi García Pimienta to not include him in the squad for the recent match against Las Palmas.
Sevilla is considering the possibility of releasing Acuña's spot and salary, as his contract expires at the end of this season. According to Argentine sources, River Plate has shown a strong interest in repatriating the player, a move confirmed by coach Marcelo Gallardo. Gallardo aims to strengthen his team with a player of Acuña's quality, who has proven to be a key asset for Sevilla when fully fit.
River Plate eyes Acuña
Acuña's case is not isolated, as River Plate recently secured the services of another World Cup champion from Andalusia, former Betis defender Germán Pezzella. Negotiations between Acuña's agents and Gallardo have already begun, with a favorable disposition from all parties involved to facilitate the transfer.
However, time is of the essence. The transfer window in Argentina closes on August 22, necessitating the deal to be finalized imminently. It is worth noting that last year, Acuña was close to moving to the Premier League, with offers from Aston Villa and Nottingham Forest. However, an injury at a critical moment halted his departure. Now, Acuña's future could be in his homeland, with the possibility of Sevilla freeing up significant wage space in their squad.
