Goodbye to Real Madrid, Renewal Agreed and Florentino Would Have to Pay 45 Million Euros

Real Madrid Continues to Search for Footballers to Expand Their Squad for Upcoming Seasons. One of the players who has caught the attention of the scouts led by Juni Calafat stands out for his surprising versatility in two practically vacant positions in the first team.

One of the names that has been circulating for some time, with some intensity, in the orbit of the entity presided over by Florentino Pérez is Juanlu Sánchez. The next '16' of Sevilla, who will inherit the number from the legendary Antonio Puerta and Jesús Navas, appeared several months ago as part of a specific generational change plan. Real Madrid's goal is to regain much of the ground lost in the national team by making strong investments in national talents.

The Sevilla youth player would be one of the Spanish players, along with Dean Huijsen, who is of most interest in the Valdebebas offices. The footballer from Seville is perfectly qualified to play as a right-back and as a midfielder, versatility that adds to the list of virtues demonstrated to date. In the noble area of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán, they are aware of the interest that Juanlu Sánchez arouses, especially in Türkiye, so they have decided to try to renew his contract without wasting time.

That signed agreement between the player and the Andalusian entity places Juanlu Sánchez in Sevilla until the summer of 2029. The extension of his stay in the Seville locker room is not the only 'shielding' proposed by the Sevilla leaders, they have also included a release clause of 45M euros.

Change of Plans

While it is true that Juanlu Sánchez was configured as a person of interest in the white sports management, Real Madrid has not been able to prevent the renewal of the Sevilla youth player. Now the transfer of the Spanish player is much more complicated due to the great 'shielding' that the Andalusian team has placed on their great star. The future projection of the current '26' is on par with Lukebakio, the other standout footballer of García Pimienta.

With this new situation in the 'Juanlu Sánchez case', the Valdebebas offices will have to reconfigure their strategy if they wish to sign the young Spanish talent. There are plenty of reasons to do so, since both the right-back and the midfield urgently request a signing.

Although the Madrid leaders have other priorities for both positions, they do not completely rule out Juanlu Sánchez. For now, the chances of his possible signing depend on sustained growth at Sevilla: his experience in the Nervión team would be the perfect test for the Spanish footballer. If he achieves notable individual successes in the Seville entity, he could definitely attract the attention of the white sports management.

Meanwhile, Real Madrid will maintain close monitoring of Juanlu Sánchez to corroborate his evolution in the Sevilla first team. The renewal until mid-2029 temporarily distances Real Madrid, especially due to his release clause, but it doesn't make the white interests completely disappear.
