Sevilla FC seeks defensive midfielder as José Ignacio Navarro targets squad overhaul

Sevilla FC’s sporting director José Ignacio Navarro has opened a new transfer front to sign a defensive midfielder, aiming to strengthen the team’s balance in high‑pressure matches. Coach Luis García Plaza has asked the technical staff to locate a player with solid defensive experience and international pedigree to anchor the midfield. The club is also considering the possible sale of Swiss international Djibril Sow to a Bundesliga or Serie A side, which would trigger a second midfield signing. In addition to the midfield priority, Sevilla is pursuing goalkeeper Fran González and a new centre‑forward to partner Isaac Romero, indicating a broader squad revamp before the league campaign begins.
