The sale that will solve Sevilla's problems

Juanlu Sánchez is once again in the sights of SSC Napoli. The Italian club has not forgotten about the youth product of Sevilla FC and is preparing a new attempt. The deal was one of the major soap operas last summer. Now, with a different sporting and economic scenario, the name of the Quinteño returns with force.

Juanlu Sánchez remains a priority for SSC Napoli

As reported by 'Gazzetta dello Sport', SSC Napoli is looking for a right-back with pace, energy, and offensive ability. In that picture, Juanlu Sánchez fits almost perfectly. The Neapolitan team needs to manage Giovanni Di Lorenzo's minutes. Their captain remains important, but the accumulation of playing time necessitates finding a reliable alternative.

Juanlu Sánchez is liked for his youth, potential for growth, and his ability to exploit spaces. Also for his recent experience in LaLiga. The interest is not new. A year ago, Giovanni Manna traveled to Seville to negotiate with the Seville club, although the deal was blocked.

Back then, Sevilla FC held a firm stance. They asked for around 20 million euros and rejected offers that did not meet their demands. SSC Napoli got close with an offer nearing 16 million, bonuses included. However, Seville did not agree to a significant reduction.

Sevilla FC may consider offers this summer

The situation at Sevilla FC has changed. The club needs to continue adjusting its wage bill and reducing debt without losing competitiveness in LaLiga. Therefore, a sale of Juanlu Sánchez once again emerges as a real possibility. The sporting direction knows that any income from the youth academy player would be a capital gain.

Additionally, the player has market value. His current valuation is lower than last summer, but he remains an attractive asset for Italy. Seville has also taken preventive measures. Juan Iglesias arrives as a free agent and can play at right-back, offering defensive versatility.

José Ángel Carmona remains in the squad, and Arouna Sanganté can also cover similar positions. The position, therefore, would not be left unprotected. This context eases the conversation. Sevilla FC will not give away Juanlu Sánchez, but they may be more receptive if a convincing proposal comes forth.

Allegri gives the green light to Napoli's new attempt

The big question was whether the interest of SSC Napoli would survive the change of coach. Antonio Conte was one of his main supporters. However, the arrival of Massimiliano Allegri has not closed the door. The Italian coach also sees the signing of the Seville full-back with good eyes.

'Gazzetta dello Sport' also affirms that the most mentioned alternative if Juanlu is not signed is Dodo, a player from Fiorentina. He has more experience, but Juanlu Sánchez offers a different trajectory and potentially more manageable cost. The Sevilla FC player closed the last season with three goals and four assists in 35 official matches. His offensive contribution strengthens his candidacy.

In LaLiga, Juanlu Sánchez has shown he can play as a full-back or wide midfielder. Such versatility is highly valued in Italian football. The ball is now in the court of the clubs. SSC Napoli must decide whether to present a formal offer capable of convincing Sevilla.

In Seville, meanwhile, the analysis will be economic and sporting. Selling a youth academy player is always tough, but the accounts also influence planning. The market once again brings together the paths of Italy and Andalusia. Juanlu Sánchez, once again, emerges as the ideal full-back for SSC Napoli's project.
