Time and life take many turns, so the fate of many footballers is truly uncontrollable, something that can explain what happened with Juanlu Sánchez.

The jewel of Sevilla, whom many have compared to Sergio Ramos, has been linked with Real Madrid for a long time.

Juni Calafat, Florentino Pérez's great 'weapon,' has been following Juanlu Sánchez for a long time.

Confirmed Renewal

The problem is that, in the last few hours, Sevilla has confirmed the renewal for three more seasons of the young defender.

"Juanlu Sánchez has signed the extension of his contract as a Sevilla FC player. The youth player, who in 2022 secured his link with the club until 2026, has now signed the extension of the agreement for three more seasons, specifically until June 30, 2029. The Montequinto native went through the offices of Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán in the last few hours, where everything was signed," expressed the Nervión team, which, in this way, ensures the continuity for the coming years of one of its great talents, something that reinforces the entity's strategy, especially because they are going through moments of much political, sports, and economic instability.

This, as expected, rules out any departure of the defender, although there are no details about his release clause.

The Reasons for Real Madrid's Discard

At Real Madrid, they have always valued Juanlu Sánchez very highly and, indeed, Florentino Pérez was determined to sign him.

However, the emergence of Raúl Asencio and the poor relations with Sevilla have been decisive in discarding him.

Additionally, at Real Madrid, they are convinced of the idea of adding Dean Huijsen, who recently debuted with the Spanish national team.

Luis de la Fuente's bet and his debut with the senior team confirmed all the good that the 19-year-old center-back has done in the Premier League.

This makes Florentino Pérez and José Ángel Sánchez discard Juanlu Sánchez, who is one of the most interesting young players in LaLiga.

Beyond this, Real Madrid's idea is to continue monitoring him and watching him closely, as they do not rule him out for the future.
