Napoli Close to Securing Sevilla Star Juanlu Sánchez in Summer Swoop
Napoli are on the verge of bolstering their squad with the addition of Sevilla fullback Juanlu Sánchez, following reports that the player has agreed personal terms with the Serie A side.
According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, negotiations between the two clubs are currently focused on settling the final transfer fee. Sevilla are holding firm on a €20 million valuation, while Napoli are proposing a deal worth around €15 million, including add-ons. Despite the gap, both sides are optimistic about reaching an agreement, making the transfer increasingly likely.
Juanlu Sánchez, 21, has caught the attention of several European clubs with his dynamic performances in La Liga. Known for his pace, versatility, and tactical awareness, Sánchez has developed into one of Spain’s most promising young defenders. His ability to play both as a right-back and further up the pitch makes him a valuable asset for any manager.
Napoli’s interest in Sánchez comes as part of a wider plan to rejuvenate their squad after a challenging 2024/25 season. With a new project taking shape under the club’s sporting director, the Partenopei are eager to strengthen key positions ahead of the new campaign.
Should the deal go through, Sánchez will become one of the first major signings of Napoli’s summer window, signaling their intent to return to the top of Italian football.
