Fabrizio Romano reports that Atalanta has shown interest in Juanlu Sánchez in recent weeks.

According to journalist Mateo Moretto, Atalanta is willing to make an offer of around 15 million for Juanlu. Juanlu was formed in Sevilla's youth academy. Maurizio Sarri, new coach of Atalanta, wants to have Juanlu in his squad and Sevilla is alert to a possible offer.

Atalanta and Fiorentina have both inquired about Sevilla's demands and the conditions for a transfer of 22-year-old Spanish right-back Juanlu Sánchez. Sevilla needs to raise funds, and the player is considered a candidate for a significant sale this summer. There has been previous interest from Italy, as Napoli attempted to sign Juanlu last summer. During that time, their sporting director, Giovanni Manna, met with Sevilla's board. The Naples-based club made another attempt in the winter, proposing a swap or a loan with an option to buy, but an agreement was not reached. A couple of months ago, Juanlu's agent, Alejandro Campano, confirmed to Gol a Gol that Napoli's interest had been evident. Sánchez's contract with Sevilla runs until 2029. He made 32 appearances and provided 3 assists in the 2025/2026 LaLiga season and has 13 caps for the Spain U21 national team. In June 2026, reports indicated that Sevilla is asking for a fee of €18-20 million. His current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10.00m.
