Ever Banega is back at the center of the debate in Nervión. The Argentine midfielder, who will not continue at Newell’s Old Boys, has been offered to Sevilla, and his potential return to the Sánchez-Pizjuán is already causing division between sporting enthusiasm and economic caution.

The player, who left an indelible mark in his previous stints at Sevilla, would be willing to come back to help rebuild a project going through one of its most delicate moments in recent years. However, the key does not solely lie in the player's desire.

Ever Banega and the current context of Sevilla

Sevilla is going through a deep transition phase. Sportingly and institutionally, the club needs stability, leadership, and football. In this context, Ever Banega emerges as a figure capable of organizing play, calming the pace, and bringing experience to a young squad under constant pressure.

From a strictly footballing perspective, the Argentine remains a scarce profile in the squad: a midfielder with judgment, personality, and the capacity to take on responsibilities in critical moments. His knowledge of the club and LaLiga is another factor in his favor.

However, the passage of time is undeniable. At 36 years old, the return of the Argentine requires a very precise management of his role and minutes to avoid turning an exciting venture into a sports risk.

Matías Almeyda, key figure in the operation

The role of Matías Almeyda is crucial in this scenario. The Argentine coach believes that Ever Banega can be a fundamental pillar for his style of play and an ally in the dressing room to convey concepts and competitive demands.

Almeyda seeks players who understand the game but also the emotional context of the club. In that sense, the former Sevilla captain fits perfectly as a silent leader and an extension of the coach on the field.

Furthermore, the relationship between them and mutual respect would facilitate an immediate integration, something crucial for a Sevilla that cannot afford signings requiring long adaptation periods.

The major obstacle: the economy

The main hindrance to Ever Banega's return is not sporting but financial. Sevilla must drastically adjust its salary mass before considering any new signings, even of a veteran profile.

To make the operation feasible, the club is evaluating significant departures. Names like Marcao or Nianzou are on the way out to cut high salaries. In Juanlu's case, the situation is different: his sale could generate close to 12 million euros in income.

These decisions are not minor. Parting ways with young assets or recent contracts entails acknowledging past planning mistakes but also opens up space for a move considered strategic by the coaching staff.

Calculated risk or dangerous nostalgia

The internal debate at Sevilla is clear. Should the club look to the past for solutions in the present? Ever Banega embodies football, character, and collective memory, but also represents a chapter that has already passed.

The sports management believes that his return would not be a long-term gamble but a specific solution to stabilize the team and facilitate the transition to a more sustainable model. In this regard, the operation is only considered if it fits into a broader plan, without jeopardizing the future or repeating mistakes from previous seasons.

Imminent decision

The coming weeks will be decisive. Ever Banega waits, Matías Almeyda pushes, and Sevilla calculates. The margin for maneuvering is limited, and each move will have sporting and economic consequences.

Sevilla aims to balance its accounts, either by reducing the team's salary mass in January or by offering a sale that could bring in significant income, thus making Banega's return feasible.
