Breaking News: Sevilla FC Beats Rivals in Race to Sign Top Experienced Player in Blockbuster Deal Worth €45 Million

In a stunning move that has sent shockwaves through the footballing world, Sevilla FC has officially won the race to sign one of the most sought-after names in the sport. The Andalusian giants have completed the signing of veteran international midfielder Lucas Martínez, beating out a host of elite European clubs including AC Milan, Atlético Madrid, and Tottenham Hotspur. The deal, reportedly worth €45 million, is one of the largest in the club’s recent history.

Sevilla president José Castro confirmed the deal in a press conference earlier today, calling the signing a “statement of intent” and praising the player’s leadership qualities and experience. “We are proud to bring in a player of Lucas’s caliber,” Castro said. “He has proven himself at the highest level and brings invaluable experience to our midfield. This is a landmark day for Sevilla.”

The 32-year-old Martínez, a former Champions League finalist and winner of multiple domestic titles, joins from Bundesliga powerhouse Bayer Leverkusen, where he spent three highly successful seasons. Known for his composure on the ball, vision, and tactical intelligence, Martínez will add a new dimension to Sevilla’s midfield, which has at times struggled for consistency this season.

According to sources close to the negotiation, the deal includes a three-year contract with an optional fourth year, and a base salary of €6.5 million per year, plus performance-related bonuses. Sevilla also secured 100% of the player’s image rights, making the acquisition not only a sporting decision but also a significant commercial boost.

Martínez, who is currently on international duty with Argentina ahead of the Copa América, issued a brief statement from camp: “I’m thrilled to join Sevilla FC. The passion of the fans, the ambition of the club, and the opportunity to play in La Liga were all important factors in my decision. I can’t wait to get started.”

His arrival is expected to have an immediate impact on the squad as Sevilla look to rebuild and re-establish themselves among Spain’s top four after a challenging domestic campaign. The club currently sits 7th in the La Liga table but is still in contention for a Europa League spot.

Fans gathered outside the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium to celebrate the news, with chants and flares lighting up the night sky in Seville. Social media exploded with reactions, with #MartínezToSevilla trending globally within minutes of the announcement.

Martínez is expected to be officially unveiled in front of fans later this week after completing his international commitments. Club insiders suggest the unveiling will be a high-profile event, potentially including a public training session and press conference.

This signing marks a major coup for Sevilla and a signal that the club is serious about returning to the top of Spanish and European football. With the summer transfer window just beginning, Sevilla’s bold move may just be the first in a series of strategic acquisitions aimed at revitalizing their squad.
