Sevilla FC is looking for alternatives to strengthen the left flank in the upcoming transfer market, and one of the names that has emerged strongly is Nair Tiknizyan, a versatile player from Lokomotiv Moscow. The loan of Valentín Barco from Brighton, who has not managed to convince García Pimienta, seems likely to end prematurely, opening the door to new options in that position.

Despite Barco's outstanding performances in the Copa, such as in the match against Olot, the Sevilla coach has made it clear that he does not see the Argentine as a long-term solution. Against Atlético Madrid, Pimienta chose to move Gudelj to central defense and shift Kike Salas to the left-back position, once again leaving Barco out of the main plans. This move reinforces the idea that the young Argentine player has an uncertain future at the club.

In this context, Tiknizyan, a 25-year-old Armenian international, emerges as an attractive option for his versatility on the left flank, capable of playing both as a full-back and as a midfielder. As reported by EstadioDeportivo, although Lokomotiv rejected a loan offer from Sevilla last summer, the Andalusian club continues to monitor the player, according to reports from Russia. However, the operation could be postponed to the summer, depending on Sevilla's financial possibilities.

Meanwhile, Sevilla is also evaluating internal options such as promoting Diego Hormigo, keeping an eye on a nearby market. Nevertheless, Tiknizyan stands out as a medium-term solution to bolster a defense seeking greater solidity under García Pimienta's guidance.
