# Sevilla FC 2026 salary‑cap offload and squad overhaul > Live situation record from CLSTR: https://clstr.news/situations/sevilla-fc-transfer-budget-management > Updated: 2026-08-16T17:49:35.000Z. Sources: 63. Developments: 20. Sevilla FC’s efforts to comply with LaLiga’s salary cap and registration limits continued through the summer of 2026. To manage financial constraints, the club targeted several departures, including winger Rubén Vargas, who drew Premier League interest from Aston Villa and Brighton, and defender Tanguy Nianzou. Nianzou eventually moved to Lille on a free transfer after terminating 70% of his salary to facilitate the deal, providing Sevilla with approximately €5.5 million in wage relief. Striker Akor Adams completed a high-profile move to Serie A newcomers Venezia. The deal, totaling up to €23 million including bonuses, stands as the most expensive in Venezia’s history. Adams made a successful debut for the Italian side on 16 August, scoring twice in a 3-2 Coppa Italia victory over Modena. Left-back Joaquín Martínez (“Óso”) also became a central figure in transfer discussions. Despite interest from clubs including Fiorentina, Real Sociedad, and Newcastle United, and a red card received during a pre-season friendly against Krakow on 19 July, his future remained a priority for the club’s liquidity strategy. On the recruitment front, Sevilla focused on low-cost and youth-oriented signings. The club moved toward securing goalkeeper Fran González from Real Madrid and left-back Julio Díaz from Atlético de Madrid. Additionally, the sporting director monitored targets such as Adrian Liso and Moussa Diakité to bolster the squad ahead of the LaLiga campaign. ## Timeline ### 2026-08-16: Akor Adams scores twice on winning Venezia debut Akor Adams scored twice and provided an assist on his Venezia debut, leading the club to a 3-2 Coppa Italia victory over Modena. 2 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/akor-adams-scores-twice-on-winning-venezia-debut ### 2026-07-25: Sevilla FC Boosts Squad with Pre‑Season Win and Targeted Signings Sevilla beat AD Ceuta 2‑1 in pre‑season, with youth star Miguel Sierra scoring, while the club prepares to sign goalkeeper Fran González and left‑back Julio Díaz to strengthen the squad. 9 sources. https://clstr.news/cluster/tanguy-nianzou-joins-lille-with-150000-monthly-salary ### 2026-07-22: Nigerian striker Akor Adams signs for Venezia until 2030 Nigerian forward Akor Adams joins Venezia on a contract until 2030, citing the club’s ambitious project;
