Sevilla FC has set its sights on winger Adrián Liso from Real Zaragoza as an attacking reinforcement following the sale of Akor Adams. The Zaragoza club demands €5 million upfront or a loan with an obligation to buy.
The sporting management of Sevilla FC, led by José Ignacio Navarro, has intensified efforts to sign the young winger Adrián Liso, 22, from Real Zaragoza. The Seville club is looking for dynamism in attack after the departure of Akor Adams, who was sold to Venezia FC for a fee around €8 million.
According to sources close to the negotiations, Real Zaragoza has set clear conditions for allowing their academy player to leave: they demand a direct transfer of €5 million or, alternatively, a loan that includes an obligation to buy at the end of the season. This inflexible stance complicates the operation, but Sevilla is confident in the player's willingness.
The player's preference for Sevilla
Adrián Liso, who has dazzled in LaLiga SmartBank with his dribbling and goal-scoring ability, is clear about his destination: he wants to continue his career in LaLiga. Although he has offers from clubs in Belgium and the Netherlands, the Aragonese winger prioritises wearing the Sevilla FC shirt, according to sources close to the player.
The player sees the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán as the perfect stage to make the definitive leap to the elite. His profile fits what Luis García Plaza is looking for: a fast winger with the ability to dribble and score. Last season, Liso scored 8 goals and provided 5 assists in 36 matches with Zaragoza.
International competition and urgency in Nervión
Sevilla is not the only club interested. The winger has offers from teams in the Belgian Jupiler Pro League and the Dutch Eredivisie, which offer tempting financial conditions. However, the player's desire to stay in Spain tips the balance in favour of the Nervión club.
The urgency in Nervión is at its peak. The league start is just around the corner, and the squad needs attacking reinforcements following the departures of Adams and other players. The sporting management is working against the clock to close the operation before the transfer market closes. Time is against them, but Liso's willingness could be decisive.
Sevilla FC hopes that Real Zaragoza will soften its demands in the coming days. Meanwhile, Sevilla fans are eagerly watching their club's movements, which seeks to bring joy back to the attack after a grey season.
