La Liga
The imminent starting position of Juanlu Sánchez against FC Barcelona not only represents an opportunity for the academy player to establish himself in Sevilla's starting eleven, but it could also lead to a scenario that the Sevilla board wants to avoid: his sale next summer. The departure of Gonzalo Montiel to River Plate and the suspension of José Ángel Carmona create an opening for him at right-back, a position that has piqued the interest of top European clubs.
A target being tracked by Real Madrid
As reported by the newspaper AS, Real Madrid has closely monitored his progress in recent years. During the last winter transfer window, teams from the Premier League and the Bundesliga inquired about him. Everton attempted to secure his loan, and RB Leipzig even considered making an offer, although it did not materialize. With a contract expiring in 2026, Sevilla's sports management, led by Víctor Orta, is working on an extension that would tie him until 2029 and raise his release clause, currently set at 20 million euros.
However, if Juanlu shines in the upcoming matches, his value could skyrocket, and without a new contract in place, the club would be forced to negotiate his departure to avoid losing him at a lower price. At 21 years old with evident progress, his future seems linked to the elite of European football. The question is whether his growth will benefit Sevilla in the long run or if he will be another talent that migrates in search of greater challenges.
