Juanlu Sánchez reappears in Sevilla's plans for the upcoming transfer market, as the club is considering asking Bournemouth for his return in the January market due to his lack of playing time in England. The 23-year-old full-back, sold this past August for €11 million plus €2 million in variables, has yet to make his debut in the Premier League.

The situation has raised eyebrows in Nervión just a month and a half after his departure. Juanlu arrived in English football with physical issues and has only played 8 minutes this season, in the Carabao Cup match against Lincoln City.

Juanlu Sánchez struggles to find his place at Bournemouth

The start for Juanlu Sánchez contrasts with the reason that led to his departure. The player sought more opportunities after completing his training and establishing himself in the Sevilla first team, while the club needed to generate income during the summer transfer window.

The deal involved €11 million fixed and another €2 million in variables. Juanlu left the club after playing 109 official matches, scoring 6 goals, providing 11 assists, and being part of the squad that won the Europa League.

His adaptation to Bournemouth has been hindered by the injury he arrived with in England. In the first four Premier League matches, he was only on the bench twice and didn't play any minutes in the league.

The situation was further complicated with the European squad list. Juanlu Sánchez was left out of the squad submitted by the English team for the Europa League group stage, which means he won't be able to use that competition to increase his participation in the coming months either.

The decision not only affects the Spaniard but also players like Daniel Jebbison, Veljko Milosavljevic, Max Aarons, and Julian Araujo, who were also left out due to UEFA registration restrictions.

Sevilla attempts Juanlu's return

Sevilla considers reclaiming Juanlu in January

Sevilla is closely monitoring this situation and is considering attempting to bring back Juanlu Sánchez during the winter transfer window. The proposed solution involves negotiating a loan until the end of the season, provided the player continues to lack opportunities in Bournemouth's rotation.

His return would enable the addition of a player familiar with the squad, the club, and LaLiga, without needing a period of adjustment. Juanlu had already gained experience in the Spanish league before moving to the Premier League and can perform both as a full-back and in more advanced positions on the right.

However, the operation would require the approval of the English club. Bournemouth made an investment exceeding €11 million during the summer, and their initial intention was to develop the player within a project that also competes in European competition this season.

The upcoming weeks will be crucial. If Juanlu Sánchez continues to be sidelined before December, Sevilla is planning to review terms for a negotiation in January. His return to LaLiga will then depend on Bournemouth's stance and the role the player plays under Marco Rose before the winter transfer market opens.
