Sevilla FC faces a crucial weekend to finalise the transfers of Tanguy Nianzou to Lille and Akor Adams to Venezia, aiming to free up salary space and register their new signings before the league debut on August 15 against Rayo Vallecano.
The salary cap is tight and time is running out. With just over a week left until the league opener, Sevilla FC finds itself blocked: none of its new signings or several key players can be registered until the club frees up salary space. The solution lies in finalising two departures that the sporting management hopes to conclude this very weekend.
The exit operation, key for the league debut
The sporting director, José Ignacio Navarro, has confirmed that the absolute priority is to accelerate the exit operation. The club needs to offload unwanted players and secure strategic sales before the ball rolls on August 15 against Rayo Vallecano at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán. The impatient Nervión fans hope that the new sporting project can kick off with all the pieces in place.
According to internal sources, the technical secretariat is working tirelessly to close two significant moves. The first, the departure of Akor Adams to Venezia FC, is practically agreed for a minimum of €20 million including fixed and variable fees. The second, the exit of Tanguy Nianzou to Lille, would involve shedding the highest salary in the current squad. Both operations must be resolved this very weekend, as conveyed by the management.
The Nianzou saga and the urgency to register
The negotiation with Lille for Nianzou is the main focus of attention. The French club wants to close the deal as soon as possible, and Sevilla is pushing for it to be finalised. The departure of the centre-back would significantly relieve the salary cap, allowing the registration of the reinforcements that have already arrived and those that may arrive in the final days of the market. The deadline is this weekend; if it is not closed, the club will have to seek alternatives to free up salary space.
Meanwhile, Sevilla fans are closely monitoring the movements in Nervión. The league debut against Rayo Vallecano is imminent, and the club needs to have all its players available to compete from the first minute. The management is confident that the two operations will be successfully concluded, but time is of the essence and pressure is mounting.
For the Sevilla fan, these days are filled with uncertainty. Being able to see the new signings dressed in white and red in the first league match depends on the completion of these two departures. The entity is working against the clock so that, on August 15, the Sánchez-Pizjuán can roar with all weapons ready.
