Sevilla is trying to send Marcao, whom they transferred from Galatasaray for 15 million euros including bonuses at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season, for free. The Brazilian center-back, who has struggled to show the expected performance since the day he signed and has been battling injuries, is among the highest-paid players in the Spanish team.
Sevilla, one of the teams in La Liga, has lost hope in Brazilian defender Marcao, who was transferred from Galatasaray in the summer of 2022. The 28-year-old player, who was brought into the squad with great expectations, has fallen significantly short of those expectations since day one and has been deemed expendable.
THEY ARE EVEN WILLING TO LET HIM GO FOR FREE
According to reports in the Spanish press, Marcao has refused to leave despite Sevilla wanting him to depart for months. The reports also mentioned that the Spanish club would be willing to let the Brazilian defender, who is among the highest earners in the team, go for almost nothing.
THEY PAID 15 MILLION EUROS FOR HIS TRANSFER
Sevilla had transferred Marcao from Galatasaray at the beginning of the 2022-2023 season for 15 million euros, including bonuses, due to his frequent injuries and lack of form, which prevented him from getting regular playing time.
HIS PERFORMANCE THIS SEASON
This season, Marcao has worn the Sevilla jersey in 14 matches across all competitions. The Brazilian defender, who managed to stay on the field for 6875 minutes, did not contribute any goals or assists. The 28-year-old defender, whose current market value is shown as 4 million euros, has a contract with the Spanish club until 2027.
