Juanlu Sanchez seemed to be just a step away from wearing the Napoli jersey, but now the deal is no longer certain to be completed. As reported by the Spanish newspaper ‘El Desmarque’, the Spanish full-back is increasingly likely to stay at Sevilla, and in particular, a gesture by the club during a friendly match could be an indication of this. Meanwhile, negotiations are ongoing, but if an agreement is not reached, Zanoli could remain as Di Lorenzo’s backup.
The negotiations that would bring Sevilla’s full-back Juanlu Sanchez to Napoli have stalled. In particular, as reported by ‘El Desmarque’, there is a gesture by the Andalusian club that suggests the possible stay of the 2003-born player in Spain: Juanlu was a protagonist in Sevilla’s latest friendly, playing the entire second half. But it’s not just this, it’s also about the number he wore: number 16, a shirt associated with Antonio Puerta, the late former captain and eternal symbol of the Andalusian club. This could indicate how much the club wants to continue to rely on the player.
Furthermore, in the negotiations, there is still no sign of an agreement between Napoli and Sevilla: the Azzurri have offered 12 million plus 4 million in bonuses, while the Spaniards want 17 million guaranteed. If the deal ultimately falls through, it remains to be seen whether the Azzurri will turn to another target or choose to keep Alessandro Zanoli, giving him, after his recent loan spells at Salernitana and Genoa, the important role of Di Lorenzo’s backup—a role that, given the many matches this year, will certainly require frequent rotation.
