Morocco his dream ended this saturday in Qatar World Cup with the fourth place achieved after the defeat in the consolation final against Modric’s Croatia. Undoubtedly a resounding and unexpected success that makes Walid Regragui’s team the first African team to reach the semi-finals.
And all this triggered the price of two Sevilla players, the goal Yassine Bono and the attacker Youssef En-Nesyriwhich have become the main assets of the Andalusian team, with high-level pretenders who have not overlooked the excellent tournament they have held.
The Montreal-born but Moroccan-born goalkeeper already had respect in European football since he was instrumental in Sevilla’s Europa League conquest in 2020. He arrived at Sevilla in a minor role, on loan from Girona for a year, but an injury to Czech Tomas Vaklic gave him an opportunity he didn’t waste. His performance at the World Cup was sensational despite having to remain in the dressing room in one group stage match after falling ill after listening to the national anthems. His performance with Spain was decisive, in a penalty in which he stopped three shots and in which he confirmed that it was one of his specialties.
His contract runs until 2025, but Bayern Munich, no less than to replace Manuel Neuer after a serious injury, has already knocked on his door. Sevilla do not exclude his transfer taking into account that the Serbian Dmitrovic has also proved to be a guarantee goalkeeper.
The striker arrived in the low hours
En-Nesyri arrived at the World Cup in the low hours and after a disappointing and far from season in which he finished with 24 goals for Sevilla, 18 in the league and 6 in the Champions League. Then both the Andalusian club and the player said no to an offer of over 30 million euros from West Ham, who returned to office even before the appointment with Qatar.
He has received criticism for his performance at Sevilla this season, sometimes proving to be an awkward and uncoordinated player. Last season, between a muscle injury that lasted 3 months, Covid and the African Cup, he too was almost empty. But he reached the World Cup and his name resonated strongly in the Premier League, for which he has very valid conditions. Stride, speed in space, good header, pressure work…
In Seville they think there will be no shortage of offers. West Ham are still there, with David Moyes as a lover of his game, and others are starting to pick up interest. Sevilla, however, know they have a diamond in the rough that hasn’t been tapped yet. If an offer exceeding €40m arrives, the player would probably leave Nervión, where he joined from Leganés in January 2021 after paying the €20m release clause.
