Sevilla FC plans to strengthen its midfield in the upcoming winter transfer market with the return of Boubakary Soumaré, the French midfielder who played for the Seville group last season. The player, who made a great impression during his loan spell with the Seville club, could return through an operation that includes a loan with a purchase option, estimated at around 14 million euros. This figure would be considerably lower than initially anticipated, facilitating an agreement between the parties.
The French player seeks a more prominent role, and Sevilla ensures it
Soumaré, currently at Leicester City, has had very little playing time so far this season, with just a few minutes in the Premier League. According to 'ElSevillista', this situation has opened the door for Sevilla to explore his possible return, leveraging the player's desire to come back to an environment where he was a key player. The Frenchman played 33 games with the Andalusians, becoming a crucial element in midfield and earning the admiration of both fans and the coaching staff.
In Leicester, he has struggled to secure a spot in the team, which could pave the way for his exit in January. Sevilla views his return positively, and Leicester City is willing to facilitate his departure, potentially speeding up the operation. With the transfer windows nearing, the possibility of Soumaré returning to Nervión is gaining momentum.
