Saúl: A Difficult Year and an Uncertain Future
Saúl Níguez’s time at Sevilla may have come to an end sooner than expected. Despite having a contract for one more year, both the player and the club would seek an exit this summer.
The midfielder has shown great commitment, playing infiltrated for several weeks to mitigate the pain of patellar tendinitis, reaching the limit in the match against Las Palmas.
After securing permanence, doctors recommended that he stop, leaving him out of the game against Real Madrid and possibly the last match against Villarreal.
His arrival at Sevilla from Atlético de Madrid generated great expectations, but an early expulsion in Mallorca and, subsequently, a serious injury to the femoral biceps that kept him away from the field for more than two months, made his adaptation difficult.
Despite the adversities, Saúl has demonstrated his worth, adding 6 assists and one goal in the 24 LaLiga matches he played. His attitude and willingness to take responsibility have been highly valued within the club.
Although Atlético de Madrid, who pays part of his salary, does not make the final decision on his future, everything indicates that Saúl could seek new horizons in exotic leagues. A difficult year for the player, marked by injuries and setbacks, but where his professionalism and commitment did not go unnoticed.
