The press conference prior to the cup match against Almería has made it clear that Sevilla is working on the departure of Kelechi Iheanacho and Valentín Barco, two players who have not met expectations in the early part of the season. According to Marca, the sports management point out that players who are not performing up to par will be allowed to leave in January so that other players who fit better into the playing system with García Pimienta can be brought in.

Valentín Barco:

The Argentine full-back, on loan from Brighton, will not be called up for the match after requesting not to participate, as details are being finalized to terminate his loan early. Barco has failed to establish himself in García Pimienta's system, and the English club is already seeking a new destination where he can have more prominence.

Kelechi Iheanacho:

On the other hand, Kelechi Iheanacho, signed to strengthen the forward line, will also not be part of the squad, as his absence is due to physical discomfort suffered after the Christmas break. The Nigerian striker is attracting interest from several clubs to leave in the winter transfer market, and Víctor Orta, the sports director, is already working on a replacement. His performance so far has been disappointing, and Sevilla is looking to revitalize their attack with new signings.

García Pimienta acknowledged that both players are interested in seeking playing time outside the club, and while no agreements are finalized, their departure seems imminent. In a Sevilla side that needs to adjust its squad to compete at the highest level, the exits of Barco and Iheanacho could be the first step towards a broader restructuring in this winter market.
