Napoli and Sevilla Continue Talks Over Juanlu Transfer

Napoli and Sevilla are still in talks about transferring right-back Juanlu Sánchez. Both clubs are trying to agree on a transfer fee. Juanlu wants to join Napoli, and discussions are ongoing as the new season is about to start. Recent reports indicate that he has already agreed to the move, pending Sevilla’s final decision.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Today, Napoli and Sevilla had new talks about Juanlu Sánchez‘s possible transfer. Napoli is hopeful, having made a better offer worth about €17 million, including bonuses. Sevilla wants €20 million. There’s no fixed deadline, so talks will likely continue. Juanlu is keen to make the move, which could influence the deal.

NAPOLI’S PUSH FOR SQUAD STRENGTH

As Serie A champions, Napoli is strengthening its squad to defend its title and compete in the Champions League. Juanlu Sánchez, 21, impressed last season with 4 goals and 4 assists for Sevilla, known for his modern, attacking style. Coach Antonio Conte sees him as an ideal addition, providing depth on the right flank and rotating with Giovanni Di Lorenzo. Current backups have been inconsistent, making this signing a priority with Napoli’s busy season ahead.

WHAT’S NEXT FOR BOTH CLUBS?

Napoli wants to start strong in its Serie A opener next weekend to set the tone for another title challenge. Their first match is against Sassuolo, a team that gained promotion from the Serie B last season. Napoli edged Inter Milan by two points to finish at the top last season. Meanwhile, Sevilla needs to rebuild after a disappointing La Liga campaign where they barely avoided relegation. Both clubs want to finalize the transfer deal soon for clarity before their respective schedules get busy.
