Enes Ünal, a 29-year-old forward from Bournemouth, is negotiating his return to LaLiga to strengthen Sevilla during this transfer window. The deal has progressed along with the transfer of Juanlu Sánchez to the English club for 11 million euros plus two in variables.

The agreement for the fullback allows both clubs to directly address the future of the striker, although there is still no definitive pact. Bournemouth is considering his exit, but the absence of Eli Junior Kroupi, who will be out for three to four months, has reduced their attacking options.

Enes Ünal gains importance in Sevilla's planning

Sevilla is looking to bring in two forwards before the market closes, and Enes Ünal has emerged as one of the main options for the sporting direction. Luis García Plaza values his experience in Spain and his qualities to play as a reference in the box.

Ünal stands at 1.87 meters and can contribute both in finishing and in support play. The coach believes that his profile would add a different option to those currently available in the Sevilla squad.

The forward also sees returning to LaLiga with good eyes, where he has previously played for Villarreal, Levante, Valladolid, and Getafe. His knowledge of the league reduces the adaptation process that would be needed for a forward without experience in Spain.

However, Sevilla is not the only Spanish club monitoring his situation. There are more teams waiting for a possible exit, although the parallel negotiation for Juanlu puts Sevilla in direct contact with Bournemouth's sporting officials.

Bournemouth considers the departure of the Turkish forward

Bournemouth signed Ünal from Getafe in 2024. The operation started with a loan and eventually turned into a transfer close to 17 million euros, along with a four-season contract.

His time in England has been marked by two knee injuries. The forward suffered an anterior cruciate ligament tear during the 2023/24 season, while still at Getafe, and experienced another serious injury at the beginning of 2025.

Ünal has regained fitness and is participating in this preseason's friendlies. This comeback allows for potential dealings during the summer, although the English club must now assess how many forwards it needs to compete in the Europa League as well.

Kroupi's injury has disrupted that planning. The 20-year-old forward underwent surgery for a fracture in the fifth metatarsal and will be sidelined for three to four months, an absence that may lead Bournemouth to demand a replacement before authorizing another exit.

Juanlu's sale could unlock the operation

The transfer of Juanlu Sánchez is expected to be finalized after Sevilla and Bournemouth agreed to a base of 11 million euros, another two million in variables, and a percentage on a future sale. This income will provide financial leeway for the Andalusian club to progress with their signings.

The coincidence of both operations does not necessarily imply an exchange, but it does facilitate the negotiation between the entities. Sevilla must now determine the form of the transfer, whether through a direct sale, a loan, or a loan with an option to buy.

The next step will be to see if Bournemouth is willing to part with another forward despite Kroupi's injury. Enes Ünal remains willing to return to Spain, and Sevilla will seek to capitalize on the discussions regarding Juanlu to finalize his arrival before the start of LaLiga.
