Sevilla's frustrated signing that condemns the club's attitude

Nair Tiknizyan, the versatile footballer from Lokomotiv Moscow, expressed his disappointment with Sevilla FC following the recent transfer market. The Armenian international, with 13 caps for his national team, acknowledged that the Andalusian club had shown interest in acquiring his services to strengthen their left flank. However, he lamented that the negotiations did not reach a successful conclusion due to the discrepancy between what Sevilla offered and what the Russian club demanded.

"If they really wanted me, they should have made a greater effort to reach an agreement with Lokomotiv," Tiknizyan stated after his national team's match against Latvia. The player expressed his frustration as he saw a great opportunity in the Sevillian club to fulfill his goal of playing in one of the major European leagues.

Sevilla Opted for Valentín Barco at the Last Minute

The Armenian full-back, under contract with Lokomotiv until 2026, affirmed that even though his departure was not finalized, he remains focused on his career both with his club and the Armenian national team. Meanwhile, Sevilla ended up choosing Valentín Barco, a 20-year-old Argentine, to cover that position, albeit with less experience in top-level competitions.

Tiknizyan was one of the top choices Víctor Orta had to enhance the left flank after the departures of Marcos Acuña and Lucas Ocampos, given that besides being a full-back, he could also play much more forward positions due to his outstanding dribbling skills and great stamina. However, the opportunity to sign Valentín Barco arose at the last minute, and they decided to seize it.
