Real Madrid refuses to sell and sends Maffeo to Sevilla
Pablo Maffeo may soon become a former Mallorca player and all this to join Sevilla in times where the transfer market for the national First Division championship in Spain is burning like never before. The Argentinian international is increasingly close to the capital of Andalusia and all this through a series of events where Real Madrid has been the protagonist in every sense. There are even portals that give the operation as something absolutely definitive and even with the endorsement of Jagoba Arrasate from the Mediterranean islands.
Sevilla is negotiating the signing of Pablo Maffeo and some media even take it for granted. If it is completed, the operation will be given by Madrid’s refusal to sell Fortea to the Seville club, as Jesús was their first desire. That is why they went for plan B, which is the Argentinian international. From the capital of Andalusia they were absolutely convinced to bet on the pearl of the Valdebebas sports city until the economic pretensions of the white team were an insurmountable obstacle for the board.
Pablo Maffeo had been news on the island of Mallorca for several months due to the possibility of leaving the club during a summer where he was even only a few fringes away from joining Nottingham Forest of the English Premier League. The economic differences between the historic team of the United Kingdom and what the vermilion club intended, ended up finalizing the options of the international with Argentina to reach the best League in the world for amounts that would have oscillated almost 8 million euros. After that, Sevilla appeared in style and Real Madrid’s refusal to sell Jesús Fortea ended up finalizing the entire operation.
A key year for Maffeo
Let’s not forget that we are talking about a season where, as happened four summers ago, the FIFA World Cup of national teams is the main topic of conversation among the great players of each of the squads of the national First Division championship in Spain. There are many assets that have only changed teams thinking about having the best and greatest possible regularity in the face of a contest that from the beginning of June 2026 will steal the attention of the entire planet.
Madrid does not give away talent
It is no secret that the white team is a machine to put footballers in the different teams of the national scene, but this only when the requirements and pretensions of a Real Madrid that is by no means willing to give away one of the best jewels that has had in its youth academy in the short term are met. Fortea, for the moment, has a contract until 2029 and therefore there is no rush in relation to his future.
