Reports have revealed that head coach Matías Almeida has requested Sevilla's management to sign Spanish star Marco Asensio during the upcoming transfer window in order to bolster the team's attacking line.

According to the "Fichajes" website, Almeida's request comes after the decline in performance of Chilean striker Alexis Sánchez, who is suffering from fatigue and recurring injuries, prompting the Argentine coach to seek a strong replacement to revitalize the team's attack.

Asensio is considered the ideal option for Almeida, given his extensive experience and high attacking capabilities, along with his tactical flexibility and ability to make a difference in major matches.

The report clarified that Sevilla's management views this deal as an opportunity to enhance the team's attacking ambitions and refresh its dynamics, especially during the rebuilding phase the Andalusian club is undergoing.

Sevilla will need to negotiate with Fenerbahçe to finalize the deal, in addition to convincing the player to return to La Liga and participate in a new project led by Almeida aimed at European competition.

The source confirms that signing Asensio would represent an important step for Sevilla in renewing its technical project and raising the level of attacking performance in preparation for the upcoming season.
