Sevilla FC squad overhaul
Entities: José Ignacio Navarro · Sevilla FC · Djibril Sow · Fran González · Luis García Plaza
Overview
In late July 2026 Sevilla FC’s sporting director José Ignacio Navarro outlined a multi‑phase transfer strategy. On July 26 the club focused on replacing the goals lost after recent departures, targeting Spanish striker Fran Navarro from Sporting Braga as a replacement for Akor Adams, while a deal for Ecuadorian midfielder Patrik Mercado was put on hold due to a serious knee injury.
Four days later, on July 30, Navarro expanded the plan, opening a search for a defensive midfielder with international experience to balance the side. The club also considered selling Swiss international Djibril Sow to a Bundesliga or Serie A team, which would free up space for a second midfield signing. Additional targets included goalkeeper Fran González and a new centre‑forward to partner Isaac Romero, signalling a broader squad revamp ahead of the upcoming league campaign.
