Coach García Pimienta faces a critical moment after the imminent sale of one of his key players. Rayados de Monterrey is close to closing the signing of a extrem, who will leave Sevilla.

Challenge for García Pimienta. In search of solutions

The economic offer from Rayados has been decisive, exceeding expectations and ensuring that Lucas Ocampos continues his career in Mexico. This move represents a challenge for García Pimienta, who will now have to find solutions to make up for the absence of a crucial player. Meanwhile, the sports management is looking for alternatives in the market.

The deal is estimated at around 7 million euros, a significant figure for Sevilla . It frees up wages and earns an income for a player whose contract expired at the end of the season. Although the management is positive in financial terms, García Pimienta will have to work to maintain the team's cohesion and performance in the fight for its objectives this season.

The Spanish market is already closed

The departure of Lucas Ocampos, aged 30, leaves a significant gap in García Pimienta's scheme. The coach must face the challenge of covering the loss with available players or possible free transfers, as the market in Spain is closed. This situation puts García Pimienta under pressure to adjust his strategy quickly and prevent the sale from negatively affecting the team's performance.

The expectation is that García Pimienta will remain calm, focused and will make the most of the resources at his disposal. The ability to adapt to this loss will be key to determining the success of his project in a season that looks set to be difficult. In the meantime, fans are waiting to see how the team adjusts and continues to compete at a good level, hoping that this transition will be managed in the best possible way.
