La Liga
Napoli has initiated talks with Sevilla to bring in Juanlu Sánchez as a strategic reinforcement for their right flank. The 20-year-old full-back has been identified by the Italian team as their top priority to provide competition for Giovanni Di Lorenzo, the current captain and a stalwart in defense, as reported by Matteo Moretto and Fabrizio Romano.
Sevilla has set his price at 20 million euros, but Italy is already handling a proposal close to 15 million that could unlock the deal in the coming days. The player, in turn, has given his approval to the contract proposed by Napoli, which would be for five seasons.

Napoli Close to Signing Juanlu Sánchez
Within Napoli, the new sporting director Giovanni Manna sees in Juanlu an ideal profile: speed, versatility, and offensive projection. His ability to operate as a wing-back or winger on the right fits the team's plan to modernize the side and provide a young alternative to Di Lorenzo. The technical staff particularly values his growth in the last season, where he played 35 matches, scoring five goals and providing five assists across all competitions.
Juanlu, a Spain under-21 international, has been gaining prominence at Sevilla, but the Seville club is open to negotiating due to the need to generate income and restructure its squad. The player views his move to Serie A positively, with an ambitious project and European prospects.
The agreement is not yet official, but the parties are getting closer. If the deal is confirmed, Sevilla could secure a significant sale, and Napoli would add one of Spain's most promising full-backs to their ranks.
