According to Matteo Moretto, Fiorentina and Atalanta have already made initial inquiries about Sevilla's asking price and conditions for the transfer of Juanlu Sánchez. Sevilla needs to recoup funds through player sales, and this academy product could become an important asset this summer.
Napoli attempted to sign Juanlu last summer. Napoli sporting director Giovanni Manna visited Sevilla a year ago to meet with club executives; in the winter transfer window, he made another attempt, even proposing player swaps or loan deals with buyout clauses, but none were successful.
A few months ago, Juanlu's agent, Alejandro Campano, stated in an interview with "Gol a Gol": "Yes, Napoli came—that's clear. It's completely understandable; Sevilla also has its own decisions to make, and they will make their judgment. Everything is completely understandable. He is now fully committed to Sevilla and achieving his goals, and the future is left to God's decision." With the arrival of Juan Iglesias, Sevilla coach García Pimienta has three right-backs: Iglesias, Carmona, and Juanlu.
As pre-season training is set to begin in a week, Sevilla is also attracting increasing attention in Italy, and the team will undergo routine medical examinations then. Last Thursday, there were reports that Sevilla and Venezia were close to reaching an agreement for the transfer of Akor Adams, but this was not the case. The newly promoted Serie A team reportedly offered more than 10 million euros for the striker, while Sevilla demanded over 20 million euros. Serie A transfers are expected to bring additional revenue to Sevilla's finances.
