Youssouf Fofana has arrived in Seville and completed his first training session as a Sevilla player, a move that was one of the major deadline day signings. Fofana spent two years at Milan, which he joined for 26 million euros. According to the Italian press, Milan's new coach Rubén Amorim decided to remove him from the group for tactical and behavioral reasons, which made his exit possible in the last week of the transfer window. The transfer of Carlos Álvarez from Levante to Club América for 5 million euros resulted in Sevilla receiving 30% of the capital gain, which provided enough financial capacity to sign Fofana. After two hours of intense negotiations, all documentation was completed around 23:30 and delivered to LaLiga headquarters seven minutes before the market closed. José Ignacio Navarro explained in a press conference that Sevilla decided to use all available resources to sign Fofana on the last day of the window.
