Sevilla Manager Pimienta Requests January Move for Ansu Fati
Sevilla Manager Calls for Reinforcements in January Transfer Window
Sevilla manager Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta has emphasized the urgent need for reinforcements during the upcoming January transfer window. He specifically highlighted the lack of resources out wide for Los Nervionenses, indicating a strategic focus on strengthening their squad in key areas.
Ansu Fati’s Potential Return to Seville
Rumors have circulated regarding Ansu Fati’s potential return to his native Seville. The 21-year-old forward, who has recently recovered from a foot injury, has struggled to secure significant playing time under coach Hansi Flick at Barcelona. Garcia Pimienta acknowledged the talent of Fati and encouraged him to seek opportunities for regular minutes, whether at Barcelona or elsewhere.
Transfer Speculations and Enquiries
Despite not engaging in formal discussions with Sporting Director Victor Orta, Garcia Pimienta admitted to exploring the possibility of a deal for Ansu Fati. Reports suggest that Sevilla recently made an enquiry about the young forward, reflecting their interest in bolstering their squad. The manager highlighted the inadequacy of their winger options and indicated that Orta is actively seeking reinforcements, including a forward and an attacking midfielder, in the upcoming transfer window.
Assessment of Current Performance
Garcia Pimienta expressed a self-assessment of being on the verge of passing grade for his work so far. Sevilla’s performance in the league has been a mixed bag, with 15 points from 11 games, placing them 10th in the standings. While they remain within reach of European competition, the team has faced challenges due to inconsistencies in their performances throughout the season.
