Neal Maupay Joins Sevilla as Winter Transfer

omidbasir- Neal Maupay has arrived this morning in Seville to become Sevilla FC’s first signing of the winter transfer window. The forward from Olympique de Marseille has been selected to strengthen the team’s attack, and an agreement has been reached for his loan with a non-mandatory purchase option. The club is now awaiting LaLiga’s permission to register him.

On Tuesday, the official announcement regarding the loan of Alfon to Villarreal is expected, which includes a non-mandatory purchase option valued at seven million euros. The winger has already traveled, and the club anticipates that Marcao’s long-term injury will be recognized, allowing them to utilize those funds to create the necessary salary space for Maupay’s registration.

The physical and competitive profile of the Franco-Argentinian aligns with the parameters set by coach Matías Almeyda. His playing style is well-suited for teams that emphasize rhythm, high pressing, and quick transitions. Maupay is an active forward known for his instinct, mobility, and aggression in the penalty area, joining Isaac Romero and Akor to complete the team’s forward lineup.

Acquiring a forward has been a top priority for Sevilla in this transfer window, which closes on Monday, February 2nd. On the same day, Sevilla will conclude their league schedule with a match against Mallorca. The sporting management does not rule out providing Matías Almeyda with additional options for the second half of the season, although this may prove challenging.
