Sevilla, with a very small margin to sign in January

He Seville It will be very difficult for him to strengthen himself in the winter market, because his salary cap is greatly exceeded. In fact, it is the club with the smallest margin not only in the First Division but also in the Second Division, according to the latest update from LaLiga.

The Sevilla club, the result of the excesses of the last few years in the squad and the decline in performance to the point of being left out of all European competitions, is so far from the 1:1 rule that LaLiga needs to be able to invest everything in signings of what was received as a transfer.

García Pimiente needs reinforcements and Víctor Orta will have very little space to offer him in the market. The sale of Ocampos in September to Rayados de Monterrey provides some margin, but very little. Sevilla saved 5 million in tokens and fixed the move to 7. Sevilla can only have 20% of what they sell. If there are exits there could be more margin, but for now Orta will have to spend a figure between one and two million. The idea is to put some players with high chips on the market, like Montiel and Suso, but it won’t be easy.

Meanwhile, the performance in the first third of the Liga made it clear that García Pimienta needed a striker. In 13 games, Sevilla forwards Isaac, Iheanacho and Peque have not scored a single goal. The special disappointment was the arrival of the Nigerian, who came with a letter of independence but with a high chip. His performances have been a disaster and even on Thursday he received a lot of criticism after starting for Nigeria a few months later.

Sevilla saw how the departure of En-Nesyri, who was sold to Fenerbahçe for less than 20 million, left a very important void. Orta has a difficult task, because he has to find a striker at almost no cost or loan, while the coach asks for a winger, a position left crippled exactly by the departure of Ocampos, where Ejuke is injured and where he will also lose Jesús Navas to his impending retirement.
