Sevilla push for Guilbert: Juanlu’s path to Napoli opens up | OneFootball

Frederic Guilbert could be the next sacrifice for Lecce in terms of budget. The right-back, born in 1994, arrived in Italy with great expectations and a long experience in Ligue 1, has ended up in the sights of Sevilla. According to TuttoMercatoWeb.com, the Andalusian club has already started contacts with the yellow and red company, with the intention of closing the deal on a permanent basis.

Sevilla, pressure on Guilbert: the way opens for Juanlu to Napoli

The French defender, who boasts over 200 appearances in the top French league and 31 appearances in Serie A, has not been included by Lecce in the list of call-ups for the 2025/2026 season. A precise technical choice by the new coach Eusebio Di Francesco, who has decided to focus on other profiles to build his defensive line. A rejection that seems to have opened the way for an inevitable transfer. Sevilla's interest is not casual. The Spaniards, in fact, could soon lose Juanlu Sanchez, right winger who has ended up in the sights of Napoli. Negotiations between the blues and the Andalusian club have been going on for weeks and, in case of a positive outcome, Guilbert would represent the ideal alternative to cover that position. Experience, versatility, and continuity of performance are the qualities that have convinced the Andalusian management to move with decision. For Lecce, it would be yet another sale, after a summer marked by excellent departures.
