Sevilla face squad rebuild after Juanlu Sanchez and Sow exits

Sevilla face squad rebuild after Juanlu Sanchez and Sow exits

A Spanish football club called Sevilla is saying goodbye to two of its players this summer.

One is a 22-year-old defender named Juanlu Sanchez, who is moving to a team in England called Bournemouth.

The other is a midfielder named Djibril Sow from Switzerland, who is joining an Italian team called Genoa.

Sevilla is getting money from these transfers, and it really needs the money because the club is struggling financially.

Juanlu said the move is a 'win-win' because it helps him keep growing as a player and helps the club.

Sow played 100 games for Sevilla and scored eight goals during his time at the club.

But Sevilla has also lost many other players this summer, including its captain and its top goal scorer.

Some new players have arrived, but the team still looks weaker than it did a year ago.

The coach, Luis Garcia, saved the team from dropping out of the top league last season, and now he has to get ready for a new season that starts very soon.
