García Pimienta's Sevilla is on track for its next big signing

The coach is clear about it but is aware that it will not be easy to convince him. The clock is ticking.

Sevilla are in the midst of a renewal phase under the direction of García Pimienta . Following the recent departure of Marcos Acuña to River Plate, the Andalusian team is faced with the urgent need to reinforce the left-back position. Acuña, a key player in the past, still had a year left on his contract, but the club has decided to end his time at Nervión.

Marcos Acuña's departure to River Plate

Marcos Acuña has been fundamental for García Pimienta's team, but the relationship between the club and the player had become frayed. River Plate presented an offer that, although not very high, includes performance incentives. This agreement has allowed Sevilla to release his contract and advance in the transfer market.

With Acuña's departure, Sevilla have been left with a significant gap at left-back. Adrià Pedrosa, who has been inconsistent in the first few games, is not seen as a complete solution. The club needs immediate reinforcement to cover this position.

Javi Galán, the most desired option

In this context, Victor Orta, Sevilla's sporting director, has begun to move quickly to find a reliable replacement. Among the names that have emerged, Javi Galán stands out as the most desired option. Javi Galán, who last season played on loan at Real Sociedad, belongs to Atlético de Madrid , but his high salary and the demands of the club from Madrid complicate the negotiations.

Despite the difficulties, Sevilla's interest in Javi Galán is clear. The left-back has experience in LaLiga and his profile would fit perfectly into García Pimienta's scheme. However, it will not be easy to convince the player, who has also received offers from other clubs, some of them with a presence in the Champions League.

Sevilla are looking to close the signing before the market closes

Time is running out and the transfer market is drawing to a close. Sevilla need to act quickly to secure a quality full-back who can compete in a season that is expected to be demanding. Although Javi Galán is the preferred option, Orta and his team are evaluating other alternatives in case negotiations do not prosper.

The objective is clear: to maintain the team's competitiveness and ensure that García Pimienta's project continues without setbacks. Sevilla fans are keeping an eye on the club's movements, hoping that this new signing will bring stability to the defence.
