Giovanni Simeone Transfer from Napoli to Sevilla
Marca reports on the potential transfer involving Gio Simeone and Juanlu Sánchez between clubs. Gio Simeone could be included in the deal as a trade to reduce the transfer fee for Juanlu Sánchez. Matías Almeyda, presumably part of Sevilla's management, is interested in Gio Simeone, which could facilitate the transfer.
Giovanni Simeone, who has one more season left on his contract with Napoli, was offered to Sevilla as part of the Juanlu Sánchez transfer deal. The 30-year-old forward joined Napoli from Hellas Verona in 2023 for 12 million euros and played 33 official matches last season, scoring two goals and providing two assists. He is interested in playing for Sevilla, the club that launched his father's career to Atletico and then Inter.
Giovanni Simeone, an Argentine forward currently with Napoli, has attracted interest from Sevilla, according to reports by Sky Sport. He is on the list of potential offensive reinforcements for the Andalusian club. This interest is largely driven by Sevilla's new coach, Matías Almeyda, who was instrumental in launching Simeone's professional career at Banfield. Almeyda is eager to bring Simeone to Spain to help revitalize his career following a season in which Simeone saw limited playing time. It is reported that Simeone is open to the possibility of moving to La Liga for a new challenge.
Giovanni Simeone is once again being linked with a move to Sevilla. During negotiations between Sevilla and Napoli regarding a potential transfer of Juanlu Sánchez, Napoli's sporting director, Giovanni Manna, suggested including Gio Simeone in the deal. Simeone's contract with Napoli is set to expire in 2026, and Napoli is looking to benefit economically by lowering the cost of acquiring Juanlu, for whom Sevilla is demanding approximately 20 million euros. At 29, Simeone has faced challenges in the recent season, despite securing his second Scudetto. He participated in 33 matches, starting just three, and contributed two goals and two assists. A well-regarded player in Serie A, Simeone has played nine seasons with clubs such as Genoa, Fiorentina, Cagliari, Hellas Verona, and Napoli, accumulating a total of 88 goals and 26 assists in 314 matches. The potential transfer is further influenced by his connection with Sevilla's new coach, Matías Almeyda, and his father's historical ties to the club.
