Sevilla has had a busy summer, with Francisco Javier Garcia Pimienta’s squad undergoing significant changes recently. A primary focus has been the midfield, where they have already signed Albert Sambi-Lokonga from Arsenal and Saul Niguez from Atletico Madrid.
Sambi-Lokonga is a fascinating addition coming off a strong loan season at Luton Town. He is considered vital as the deepest midfielder in Garcia Pimienta’s system. However, he will not feature in this position for Sevilla’s La Liga opener against Las Palmas.
Sambi-Lokonga, who had just recovered from a neck injury, has now suffered a hamstring injury. According to ED, this setback is severe enough to sideline him for several weeks so that he will miss the match in Gran Canaria.
Sevilla, despite the setback of Sambi-Lokonga’s absence, is set to welcome back Lucien Agoume, a promising young midfielder. His return on a permanent deal from Inter Milan is a beacon of hope for the team.

Álvaro Valles has been a standout player this summer. The 27-year-old goalkeeper, coming off an exceptional 2023-24 season, has garnered substantial interest as he readies to depart Las Palmas during this transfer window.
Valles, despite lucrative offers from Marseille and Villarreal, has expressed a strong desire to return to his roots at Real Betis. His determination is truly inspiring.
Valles remains resolute despite receiving a substantial offer from a Saudi Arabian club. According to La Provincia (via ED), he has not even considered the three-year contract, valued at €10 million (€3.3 million per season).
Las Palmas initially sought €10 million for Valles but is now willing to accept €8 million. However, Real Betis is still far from this figure, with its highest bid being €5 million. It might increase its offer later in the summer, but only if Rui Silva is sold.

Officials at La Liga club Girona have set their sights on a promising new target as they seek to fill the void left by the departing Artem Dovbyk. This new prospect is sure to pique the interest of football fans.
Dovbyk’s departure from Girona is expected to be officially confirmed shortly. As negotiations are finalized and the details are ironed out, an announcement is anticipated soon, officially marking the end of his time with the club.
This development comes as the Ukrainian forward is poised to join Serie A giants AS Roma in a high-profile transfer that might be announced as early as this weekend.
Having scored 24 goals in La Liga last season, Dovbyk’s departure leaves the Estadi Montilivi officials challenged to find a suitable replacement for their leading scorer’s prolific output.
As a result of this development, there has been a flurry of speculation linking several strikers from across Europe as potential signings for Catalunya. The club’s need to find a replacement for Dovbyk has prompted various names to emerge in the transfer rumors, with many players being discussed as possible candidates to join the team.
Additionally, a new name was introduced to the list on Thursday.
According to transfer expert Matteo Moretto, Girona has entered the race for Copenhagen star Orri Óskarsson, showing strong interest alongside La Liga rivals Real Sociedad.
Óskarsson, a 19-year-old Icelandic international, recently completed a remarkable season, recording 15 goals and eight assists in 41 appearances across all competitions.
It remains to be seen whether Copenhagen is open to selling Orri Óskarsson. The club’s stance on a potential transfer is still unclear, and it will be interesting to observe if they are willing to entertain offers for the talented young player.
