La Liga
Sevilla FC has made the decision to step back from the race for Batista Mendy, the midfielder from Trabzonspor. Despite the interest shown by the coaches in reinforcing the defensive midfield with a profile like that of the Franco-Senegalese player, his signing is currently seen as unfeasible due to the economic limitations of the Nervión club.
The 25-year-old midfielder is tied to the Turkish team contractually until 2027, further complicating a potential exit under favorable conditions. According to 'L'Equipe' reports, Trabzonspor would not be willing to negotiate for less than 15 million euros, a figure that Sevilla cannot assume given its current salary and budgetary restrictions.
Sevilla's finances are not at their best moment
The sports management, led by Antonio Cordón, is aware of the need to add strength in the midfield but is also realistic about financial constraints. In this regard, they are looking for a more affordable alternative in the market, either through a loan with an option to buy or a low-cost transfer.
Although Batista Mendy perfectly fit the desired profile to strengthen the team's balance, his high price makes him a target ruled out by the Andalusian club. The priority remains to strengthen the squad without further compromising the club's fragile financial health, so Sevilla will have to look towards other names with more favorable conditions.
