The Nervion club is negotiating the termination of the contracts of Federico Gattoni and Fabio Cardoso to free up wage bill and register new signings in LaLiga.
The sports commission of Sevilla FC has intensified efforts to unblock the registration of their new signings. The priority is to terminate the contracts of two defenders discarded by Luis García Plaza: Argentine Federico Gattoni and Portuguese-Brazilian Fabio Cardoso. According to club sources, negotiations have entered a decisive phase and optimism is growing in the upper echelons of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
Two centre-backs out of Luis García Plaza's plans
From the first day of pre-season, both Gattoni and Cardoso were sidelined from the main group by the Madrid coach. Both are training separately from the rest of their teammates at the sports city and did not travel to the Poland tour. The situation was unsustainable and the club needed to find a definitive solution to avoid burdening the wage margin.
Sevilla FC has held intense discussions over the past few weeks with the agents of the two players. The chosen formula is the amicable termination of the contract, which would allow both players to become free to seek a new destination. The club would assume a financial compensation, but would free itself from the high salaries that weigh down the accounts.
The transfer of Akor Adams paves the way
The imminent financial injection from the transfer of Akor Adams to Venezia has provided some relief to Sevilla's finances. However, to register the new signings who are already working under the coach, it is essential to lighten the wage bill. The termination of Gattoni and Cardoso would represent significant savings that would allow to expedite the bureaucratic procedures with LaLiga.
The club hopes to close both operations in the coming days. Meanwhile, the sports management continues to work on possible signings to strengthen the squad. The Sevilla fans are closely following the movements in the offices of Eduardo Dato, aware that the transfer market may still hold surprises.
With the exit operation underway, Sevilla FC seeks to balance its accounts and provide Luis García Plaza with the necessary tools to compete this season. The termination of Gattoni and Cardoso is just the first step of a more ambitious plan that includes new departures and possibly some high-profile signings before the market closes.
