The last season ended well for Sevilla. Despite finishing 12th in the league, they won the Europa League. As a result, they have secured a place in the Champions League for the upcoming season. However, amidst this joy, there is the burden of debt for the club.
Economically, Sevilla is in a rather precarious situation. Spanish media outlets report that Sevilla wants to sell their entire squad to reduce their €90 million debt. They are eager to get rid of this problem as quickly as possible, according to reports.
It is believed that after their success in Europe, the club's interest in their players will increase. There are rumors about the Moroccan goalkeeper Yassine Bounou leaving the team.
Apart from him, it is speculated that other players, such as the Argentine World Cup-winning midfielder Ever Banega, Marcos Acuña, Moroccan striker Youssef En-Nesyri, former Tottenham star Erik Lamela, and former Liverpool winger Suso, may leave the club in the upcoming transfer window. However, reports suggest that solving this problem will not be possible by selling one or two players, according to Marca.
If the club fails to sell enough players, they will face significant financial difficulties. Barcelona has faced a similar problem before. The Spanish champions are still trying to pay off their debt. In addition, La Liga's regulations have made the entire process more complicated. If Sevilla cannot quickly overcome this problem, their fate may be similar to Barcelona's.
It has been reported that Sevilla has been in contact with several European clubs for player sales. Manchester United's name has particularly come up. Sevilla lost to Manchester United on their path to winning the Europa League.
Prior to this, sporting director Monchi also left Sevilla and joined Aston Villa. Marca reports that it was mainly due to the club's difficult situation. Monchi did not have the responsibility to sell so many players.
