Sevilla trembles with Andrés Castrín
The defender has not extended his contract with the Andalusian team
Andrés Castrín, a 23-year-old center-back, continues to not sign the renewal of his contract, which ends on June 30, 2027. The transfer market of Sevilla has been negotiating for months an extension that aims to extend the link until 2030, but there is still no agreement.
Andrés Castrín, a renewal stuck in Sevilla
Sevilla started negotiations to extend Castrín's contract after his breakthrough in the first team last season. In April, the club was already working on a new link until 2030, but that negotiation did not close.
The situation has remained open since then. José Ignacio Navarro confirmed on September 2 that the parties continue in contact and that Sevilla wants Castrín to remain linked to the first team in the coming years.
The issue for Sevilla lies in the contractual calendar. Castrín is under contract until June 2027, and if he reaches January 1 without renewing, he can negotiate with other clubs to join as a free agent after that season.
Furthermore, there is a recent precedent. Sevilla transferred Oso to Strasbourg for 10 million euros during the summer while both players were in the last year of their contracts, increasing attention on Castrín's future.
Castrín's growth increases pressure on Sevilla
Castrín joined Sevilla in July 2024 from CD Lugo for around 200,000 euros, initially aimed at the reserve team. His current contract sets his departure in June 2027.
His sporting development has changed his position within the squad. In the 2025-26 season, he played 19 LaLiga games with 13 starts, in addition to two Copa del Rey matches. This season, he has already participated in five LaLiga games, according to available statistical records.
The center-back has also increased his market value. Transfermarkt estimates his value at 6 million euros, a figure that contrasts with the cost of his transfer from Lugo.
Castrín's continuity is also related to the sporting planning of Luis García Plaza. The coach has used the defender during this early part of the season, with the player forming a partnership in the center of defense with Kike Salas, while Sevilla aims to solidify a squad with several players from its structure.
Barcelona, next scenario for Castrín
The upcoming game will be on September 19 between Sevilla and Barcelona, where Castrín comes after starting against Deportivo de La Coruña on September 16. The center-back played 90 minutes in Sevilla's 0-1 victory at Riazor.
The match against Barcelona does not change the player's contractual status, but it does offer Sevilla another opportunity to assess a player whose role in the team has grown while his renewal remains pending.
The club aims to finalize the new contract during September, as per the latest reports. If there is no agreement in the coming weeks, Andrés Castrín will enter the most critical phase of his link with Sevilla, with January 1, 2027 as the date from which he can freely negotiate with other clubs.
