Sow factor could help fund Sevilla FC’s summer signings | OneFootball

Sevilla FC have moved decisively ahead of the summer window, with Patrik Mercado of Independiente del Valle and Juan Iglesias, out of contract at Getafe CF, seen as advanced options to be the first arrivals. Both fit the brief and would strengthen different areas.

As those deals progress, the club must decide on César Azpilicueta, Alexis Sánchez and Alfon González, assessing recent performance and wider planning. Diario de Sevilla notes Djibril Sow’s recent surge, a factor that could shape strategy.

Azpilicueta’s deal renews automatically if he plays 25 games this season. He has 11 so far and four bookings, with fitness issues disrupting his run. His leadership is valued, but an automatic extension looks unlikely, with a decision due alongside his agents when the window opens.

Alexis Sánchez could depart this summer. Injuries checked a bright start and Maupay’s arrival has pushed him into a secondary role. He has been linked with South American clubs, with Inter de Porto Alegre seen as likeliest, and his possible exit would force Sevilla FC to seek an experienced goalscorer.

On-loan Alfon González is regaining rhythm and confidence at Villarreal CF. Sevilla FC are monitoring after injuries and a stop-start first spell. If he rediscovers his best level, he could be a major addition next season, dependent on his progress in Castellón.

Sow has scored in the last two league games, delivering four points in the survival fight. He is on four for the season and is Sevilla’s second top scorer in LaLiga. His form could offer a strategic opening in the market, and a sizeable sale would be key to building next season’s squad.

Signed from Eintracht Frankfurt after winning the Europa League, Sow’s start in Nervión was not simple. Matías Almeyda has unlocked his attacking edge, putting him in the shop window. With a contract to 2029, if he sustains this level he could become one of next summer’s biggest sales.
