The directors have and will have a new headache regarding Sevilla's economy at the end of this season as things turn pretty bleak for next season.
Sources close to Sevilla FC, especially from the sports sector and the team's general management, are already warning of a new economic crisis. From there they have leaked quite sensitive information, suggesting a reduction in expenses and talking about various concepts so that the club is not financially damaged.
Basically, Sevilla FC needs to reduce its spending and this also includes readjusting the payroll if it is out of date. Specifically, he has to save 40 million euros so that the team can continue to work without the financial gap increasing further. Many are wondering: How will they implement the outstanding purchase options?
Sevilla FC has to pay almost 43 million euros in the midst of the economic crisis
According to the information, the club will have to reduce its expenses by about 40 million euros, but as far as the upcoming operations are concerned, it will have a debt of 43 kilos. The reason for this are transfers with a purchase option, which the Sevilla team has already committed to paying. It's mainly about 3 players.
The first of them is Boubakary Soumaré, on loan from Leicester City, for whom they have to pay 15 kilos. Then there is Hannibal, with whom Manchester United have agreed a payment of 20 million. And finally Lucien Agoumé, for whom Inter Milan are asking for 8 kilos at the end of the season. Therefore, many do not understand how to reduce the team's costs with these upcoming operations.
Víctor Orta will start reducing Sevilla FC's wage bill to avoid a new crisis
Last year, 20 million euros in salary were cut, the sports director's idea is to repeat the move with a larger amount. However, new players and some pending contract extensions make this cost minimization a challenge and not an easy task for Víctor Orta as he did the previous season.
“The guideline was to reduce and improve staff costs. Only one starting player remained and the rest had minority participation in the team. With the arrival of eight footballers, I believe that what was proposed has been achieved. Salary costs were reduced by 20 million. We’ve gone down to 24 players and I think the team roster has been significantly strengthened.”. Those were Orta's statements last season.
