From the gutter to the stars. This is how you could describe the season in which Sevilla at one point feared for survival in the Primera Division, and in the end by winning the Europa League secured another participation in the Champions League. However, this summer it could go in the opposite direction, because the reality is far from ideal.Namely, the first man of the club, Pepe Castro, informed the sports sector that the club currently owes 90,000,000 euros and that therefore the club simply has to sell players. So much so that there are no more ‘untouchable’ members of the squad.It’s not a joke, the media in the Pyrenees say that this desperate situation in the club forced the legendary sports director Monchi to leave the Sanchez Pizjuan stadium and go to Aston Villa.##NAJAVA_MECA_7347256##Simply, Sevilla lived for years on the sale of players that they would launch, but after the coronavirus pandemic the factory line stopped. In the 2020/2021 season, they sold players in the amount of only 19,600,000 euros, and bought for 74,350,000. The following year, it sold for 28,500,000 and reduced the cost of buying new players by spending a more modest 41,500,000.Last season, we could sense that the bills were coming due. Sevilla invested only 29,400,000 euros in the team, and sold for 91,500,000. We haven’t seen such a difference between earned and invested in Andalusia for about ten years.This practice will have to continue this season. Sevilla no longer have such attractive footballers in their squad. There is no chance that they can clear this much debt by selling two or three players. And to come and earn at least something for the reconstruction. Youssef En Nesyri, Bounou, Lucas Ocampos are currently the most sought-after, but the question is whether all of them together could bring that 90,000,000 to the club.🚨 Sevilla faces debts of €90M and declared that the ENTIRE squad is on the market! 🤯😲(Source: @marca ) pic.twitter.com/p8lmWiWTem— Transfer News Live (@DeadlineDayLive) June 30, 2023 That’s why Castro was clear: everyone is for sale.Sporting director Victor Orta will have a difficult task in such circumstances to provide coach Mendilibar with a competitive team for the next season.
