Even if the transfer market in Europe is dead, Sevilla still have an open issue on their to-do list: the departure of Adnan Januzaj. The Belgian winger, who was not in Mendilibar’s plans, was signed for LaLiga before the market closed, which could offer a transfer opportunity abroad.
Januzaj is on Mendilibar’s undisputed drop-off list but his contract with Sevilla runs until 2026, limiting the club’s ability to negotiate a departure. Unlike other dropped players, Januzaj does not have this option. Although we received a few foreign offers over the summer, none of them were advanced enough to materialize.
Januzaj’s exit, Seville’s next goal
Now that the European market is closed, Seville’s eyes turn to Saudi Arabia where the transfer market is still open. This seems the most plausible target for Januzaj as Sevilla have previously been informed of interest from some Saudi League teams. The Spanish club plan to start talks with these teams to resolve the Januzaj situation once and for all.
The change in the market’s closing date in Saudi Arabia has sped things up and caused some concern in Seville, which is looking for a quick solution. Although talks will take place over the next few days, nothing has been confirmed yet. Sevilla are hoping to move forward with negotiations over a definitive exit for the Belgian player.
Adnan Januzaj’s future is uncertain but Sevilla are determined to resolve this situation before the market closes on September 7 in Saudi Arabia. The club’s fans will continue to monitor developments and hope for a positive solution in the coming days.
