Mateo Mejía, Manchester United's young talent, has managed to overcome his physical problems just in time to attract the attention of one of La Liga's most prominent teams: Sevilla. Mejía, just 20, arrived at Old Trafford from Real Zaragoza at the age of 17 but has struggled with injuries three times in the last four seasons.
As a winger, Mejía excelled with United's U23 team this season, starting every game and scoring three goals and five assists. His return to fitness allowed him to take part in first team training and marked his return to the Red Devils' radar.
The new attacker Sevilla wants
Mejía, who is of Colombian descent, was called up to the Colombia national team last year but was subsequently sent home, putting his international future on hold. Rumors suggest that the young striker could consider playing for Spain in the future.
With only six months left on his contract with Manchester United, a conflict of interest has arisen. While the Red Devils plan to offer him an extension, Sevilla have emerged as serious contenders. The Spanish club could negotiate with Mejía if they can convince him to leave Old Trafford and join their ranks.
This situation is in line with Sevilla's current strategy, which aims to sign talented young people, then sell them and make a profit, taking into account the complicated economic situation.
