The Swiss midfielder Djibril Sow, 29, has been offered to clubs in Italy and Germany. The club seeks to reduce wage bills and generate income following the departures of Akor Adams and Nianzou.
Sevilla FC has showcased one of its best-performing players. Djibril Sow, the 29-year-old Swiss midfielder, has been offered to several teams in Serie A and the Bundesliga, according to ElDesmarque. The Nervión club aims to cash in on his transfer to lighten the wage bill and generate revenue for new signings.
The player's valuation, according to Transfermarkt, stands at seven and a half million euros. This is a figure that Sevilla considers manageable for interested clubs, although no formal offers have been received yet. The sporting management, led by José Ignacio Navarro, would not be opposed to a sale if the proposal is satisfactory.
Sow arrived at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in the summer of 2023 from Eintracht Frankfurt for around ten million euros. At that time, he was one of the most exciting signings following the conquest of the seventh Europa League. However, his first season was not easy: he alternated between starting and being a substitute and did not fully establish himself in the starting eleven.
With the arrival of Luis García Plaza as manager, the Swiss has regained prominence. He has secured a spot in the double pivot, displacing Batista Mendy, and has formed a solid partnership with Agoumé. In the final stretch of the last campaign, he provided three key assists that were crucial in securing survival in the top division. Among them were the assists that allowed comebacks against Villarreal at La Cerámica and Espanyol in Nervión.
His good performance has not gone unnoticed. He has also been an important player for the Swiss national team in the World Cup, where they reached the quarter-finals before falling to the runners-up. This international showcase has increased the value of a player who, despite his age, has managed to maintain his market price.
The intention of Sevilla is clear: they need to balance their accounts. The recent departures of Akor Adams and Nianzou have somewhat alleviated the wage bill, but the club seeks more income to register new signings and face the upcoming season with guarantees. Sow, at 29, represents an interesting asset: he has experience, a good reputation in Europe, and a market value that can generate profits compared to his purchase price.
The player, for his part, is in great form. He has accumulated 56 caps for his national team, although without goals, and has proven to be a quality midfielder, with good ball distribution and the ability to break lines with his passes. At Sevilla, he has played 77 matches since his arrival, and his performance in recent months has been notable.
The club has already contacted teams in the Bundesliga, a competition that Sow knows well after four seasons at Eintracht Frankfurt, where he played 160 matches. He has also been linked with Italian clubs, and there are other teams that have expressed direct interest by calling Nervión. However, the operation is not closed and will depend on receiving an offer that satisfies all parties.
Sevilla hopes that the player's good form and his recent prominence in the World Cup will act as a draw. If the sale materialises, the club could gain financial leeway to strengthen other positions for the upcoming season. The final decision rests with the sporting management, which is considering both the sporting and financial aspects.
For now, Sow remains a Sevilla player and trains normally. His future will be resolved in the coming weeks as the transfer market progresses. Meanwhile, the Nervión fans are keeping a close eye on the movements of a club that seeks to reshape its squad without neglecting financial balance.
