Seville Faces Massive Debt: Potential Player Sell-Off Looms

A month ago, the whole of Seville was still in a frenzy: there was the seventh tournament win in the Europa League to celebrate.

A gripping penalty thriller (1:1, 5:2 nE) decided the final against AS Roma in favor of FC Sevilla. The EL success is also accompanied by the fixed qualification for the Champions League next season.

Now, however, the bomb has burst: Seville is in huge debt. According to “Radio Marca”, the club is said to have 90 million euros in debt, as President Pepe Castro is said to have announced internally.

Now the EL winner may face a large-scale player sell-off to recoup the amount of money owed.

Apparently a selection of top European clubs have already been contacted to make some players cash.

Ex-sports director jumped off due to the mountain of debt

The former sports director Monchi surprisingly said goodbye after 20 years. The club’s debts and the planned sales are said to be the reason for this.

The new sporting director Victor Orta is said to have reacted with great surprise to the financial difficulties.

The most valuable players and therefore the hot candidates to leave the squad are, for example, striker Youssef En-Nesyri (26.20 million market value), right winger Lucas Ocampus (28.12 million euros), central defender Loic Bade (23.12 million euros) or goalkeeper Bono ( 32.12 million euros).
