Sevilla Secures Neal Maupay on Loan from Olympique de Marseille

omidbasir- Sevilla FC has officially announced the loan signing of Neal Maupay from Olympique de Marseille until the end of the season. The agreement includes an option to buy for approximately five million euros. Maupay joins the squad to bolster the attacking lineup alongside Isaac Romero and Akor Adams, fulfilling a request from head coach Matías Almeyda during the winter transfer window.

LaLiga has granted approval for the departure of Marcao, classifying his situation as a long-term injury, with expectations that he will not return for at least four months. The central defender underwent surgery on Monday to address a fracture in the scaphoid bone of his left foot, which he sustained during a recent training session. Additionally, Villarreal and Sevilla have confirmed the loan of Alfon for the remainder of the season.

The financial adjustments made by Sevilla, including the wages of both the Albacete player and the Brazilian, have enabled the club to meet LaLiga’s salary cap regulations, allowing for the registration of Neal Maupay. He arrived in Seville this morning to undergo the necessary medical examinations before finalizing his transfer.

Language will not hinder Maupay’s integration into the team, as his mother is Argentine. He aligns well with Matías Almeyda’s vision for Sevilla, characterized by a style that emphasizes pace, high pressing, and rapid transitions. Maupay is an active forward known for his instinct, mobility, and aggressiveness, capable of creating spaces on the pitch and possessing a strong character.
