It was about time. Sevilla made the arrival of Erik Lamela official for the next three seasons in an operation that is included in the departure of Bryan Gil to Tottenham. This exchange includes the amount of 25 million euros destined to the coffers of the Seville club, which in this way finds more arguments to face what remains of the market with a view to improving the potential of its current squad and waiting for them to occur. other major outings in the coming weeks. At the moment, the one who arrives is Lamela, who has become Sevilla's second reinforcement after goalkeeper Dmitrovic. The Argentine left his first impressions in the club's media: “I did not hesitate when the possibility was raised. I am happy and very excited. I wanted to go through the Spanish League before finishing my career someday. I arrive with an important maturity, Sevilla is a huge club and I come to contribute my own. My game? I try to give the best to the team, I characterize myself more for attacking, but I have no problem defending. To win games you have to do both. I promise to fight like a lion. “
Monchi executes a movement that represents a twist in Julen Lopetegui's attack. Bryan Gil will leave a large transfer after shining in this last campaign at Eibar and without finally taking an opportunity in Nervión, while Lamela wants to recover the quality version that he reflected in Roma before leaving symptoms of irregularity in Tottenham. In addition to the 25 million euros that Sevilla will receive, there are some bonuses agreed that could raise the figures of this operation. Bryan Gil is still present at the Olympic Games with the Spanish team, although Tottenham has also made the signing of the footballer official in parallel to the announcement of the Sevilla reinforcement.
Sevilla expect more movements in the coming weeks, although there are many doubts about the future of some players who have numerous suitors in the market. With Koundé still conditioning the uncertainty of the defensive zone, Monchi has more challenges on the table at the gates of a campaign that places new challenges on the table for his squad. Bryan's departure provides a boost in the economic framework to try to execute some wishes without the need for other pieces of height from Nervión to come out.
