La Liga
Luuk de Jong could be on the verge of returning to Sevilla. The Dutch forward, at 35, finds himself back in the orbit of the Sevillian club, where he already made his mark during two different stints and which is currently facing a delicate moment in the offensive department. The lack of reliable options in attack has raised alarms in Nervión and has reopened the door to an old acquaintance who knows the club, its demands, and the pressure of the Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Although he currently belongs to Oporto, his situation in Portugal is far from ideal. Injuries and strong competition in the attacking field have relegated him to a very secondary role, something that could facilitate his departure in the January transfer market. In this context, his return to Sevilla emerges as a logical option for both the player and a club in urgent need of goal-scoring solutions.
Antonio Cordón's Desire
Antonio Cordón, current sporting director of Sevilla, is one of the main driving forces behind the operation. The executive believes that Luuk de Jong would not only bring goals but also leadership, experience, and a clear reference in the area, something currently lacking in the team. His profile matches the immediate need for a forward who knows LaLiga and is ready to assume responsibility from day one.
Cordón sees the Dutchman as an interesting market opportunity: a proven player, with a successful past at the club, and who is in a favorable situation to negotiate his departure. If the economic conditions are feasible, Sevilla could definitively go for a signing that, while not fitting a long-term profile, does address the urgent needs.

The Drop in Offensive Performance
One of the main reasons explaining the interest in Luuk de Jong is the below-par performances of Isaac Romero and Akor Adams. Both arrived as promising bets but have so far failed to offer the consistency and goal-scoring prowess needed for the team to compete confidently in a demanding competition like LaLiga.
Sevilla has lost firepower in recent months, and this lack of efficiency has ended up showing on the scoreboard in crucial matches. The arrival of a forward with experience in high-pressure situations could balance the offensive performance and provide a reliable alternative, especially in tight matches where his aerial play and instinct in the area can be decisive.
A Return That Excites the Fans
Luuk de Jong left a positive memory during his time in Nervión. His professionalism, dedication, and, above all, his goals in crucial moments earned him the affection of a large part of the Sevilla fans. Putting on the Sevillian shirt again would be an ideal opportunity to complete the circle and contribute once more at a time when the club needs role models.
Furthermore, his recent records in the Eredivisie—with 43 goals in the last two seasons—show that, when given continuity and confidence, he has remained a top-level forward. If he can leave behind physical issues and regain competitive form, his return could become one of those game-changing moves in a season. In January, Sevilla will have the chance to bet on a proven goalscorer who already knows what it takes to succeed in Nervión.
