Sevilla FC has accumulated just one goal in three preparation matches, a penalty from Miguel Sierra. The attack, with Isaac Romero as the only striker, is struggling, and the sporting management is urgently seeking two forwards.
Sevilla FC is approaching the final stretch of pre-season with growing concern among the coaching staff and fans: the lack of goals. After three friendly matches, the Nervion team has only managed to score one goal, and it was from a penalty. This offensive record raises all alarms with just over twenty days to go until the league debut at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
The first test against Juventud de Torremolinos ended in a narrow 1-0 victory thanks to a penalty converted by homegrown player Miguel Sierra. This was followed by a 1-0 defeat against Cracovia in Poland and a 0-0 draw against Córdoba CF in the final of the IV Trofeo Puertas de Córdoba, which Sevilla could only win through a penalty shootout. In total, 180 minutes without seeing the net in dynamic play.
The only pure centre-forward in the squad, Isaac Romero, has not managed to open his scoring account this summer. The player from Lebrija bears the responsibility of an attack that has lost its key players from last season. Alexis Sánchez and Neal Maupay have left the club, and Akor Adams was transferred, leaving the offensive line practically empty.
The sporting management, led by José Ignacio Navarro, is working against the clock to sign at least two forwards before the transfer market closes. The priority is a reliable starting '9' who can take on the goal-scoring responsibility, but they are also looking for a complementary profile to add depth to the bench. The directive is maximum speed to prevent the lack of firepower from affecting the early stages of LaLiga.
Coach Luis García Plaza has conveyed to the Nervión offices the urgency of having new references as soon as possible. The official debut is set for August 15 at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán against Rayo Vallecano, and the coach wants to have his players as match-ready as possible. The margin for manoeuvre is slim, and the anxiety is evident on the bench.
Meanwhile, Sevilla FC fans are watching with uncertainty the evolution of a team that is usually voracious in attack. The lack of goals in pre-season is not a drama in itself, but the goal drought and the absence of reinforcements in attack invite concern. The coming days will be crucial for the technical secretariat to finalize signings that restore calm to the Sevilla stronghold.
Sevilla FC is facing a decisive transfer market. With time against them and the need to make the right choices, the Nervion board knows that the team's performance at the start of the league will largely depend on the reinforcements that arrive. Fans hope that goals return soon to the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
