Sevilla set €45m asking price for Juventus target

SEVILLE, SPAIN - JANUARY 25: Dodi Lukebakio of Sevilla FC in action during the LaLiga match between Sevilla FC and RCD Espanyol de Barcelona at Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan on January 25, 2025 in Seville, Spain. Sevilla have had a relatively good season up until now, and a big reason for this is the excellent form of Dodi Lukebakio. The Belgian winger had a rather quiet first campaign at the Ramon Sanchez-Pizjuan, but it is in 2024-25 that he is starting to come into his own. Lukebakio has made up for Sevilla’s striker woes, as he currently sits top of the club’s scoring charts with nine (all in La Liga). He will be hoping to add to that tally when Barcelona come to Seville on Sunday night, and given that he has already found the back of the net against Real Madrid and Atletico Madri...

Spurs reject enquiry from Sevilla for teenager

According to a fresh report out of the Spanish media, Spurs have rejected an enquiry from Sevilla sporting director Victor Orta, to bring in Archie Gray on loan in the January transfer window. Orta was previously sporting director of Leeds United, and whilst Gray’s proper breakthrough into the first team came the season after he departed the club in the summer of 2023, there is no doubt the 46-year old will be aware of Gray from his time at the Yorkshire club. The report suggests that Orta saw an opportunity due to the teenagers “lack of game time” at Spurs so far. Whilst he perhaps hasn’t playe...
