La Liga
Sevilla FC continues its summer planning and has already focused on strengthening its midfield, one of the most weakened areas due to several departures and significant injuries. In this context, the name of Abdoulaye Touré has emerged strongly as a top priority to bolster the center of the field. The Franco-Guinean, who currently plays for Le Havre in France, is highly regarded by both Antonio Cordón and Matías Almeyda for his physical profile, experience, and competitive character.
Touré, 31 years old and 1.90 meters tall, is a defensive midfielder with a strong presence, accustomed to supporting his team from a defensive position. Additionally, he has an interesting ability to contribute to the attack from the penalty area, as shown by his goal-scoring record of 12 goals in the last two seasons, despite not having an offensive inclination.
Could arrive at a fairly affordable price
The player is in the final year of his contract with his club and has publicly hinted at his intention to seek a new challenge outside of France. In that sense, LaLiga and, specifically, the Sevilla project, are particularly appealing to him, as reported in the newspaper Marca.
The sports management sees him as an affordable and reliable alternative due to the economic impossibility of signing Baptiste Mendy, whose high valuation by Trabzonspor has cooled any attempts.
Touré thus emerges as an ideal piece to cover the current shortcomings of the Nervionense squad, in a midfield that has lost Lokonga, Saúl, and where doubts about Gudelj or Sow require immediate solutions.
