MLS asks Sevilla for Antonetti

Leandro Antonetti arrived at Sevilla last summer to reinforce the reserve team in their tough season in the First Division. The forward from Murcia, but with Puerto Rican nationality , is a regular in Jesús Galván's eleven and has four goals and one assist so far in the competition. His performance has earned him his debut with the first team, which he did on January 25 against Espanyol at the Sánchez-Pizjuán . He played ten minutes.

The lack of players and the financial situation of Sevilla has opened an exciting door for him, as García Pimienta regularly calls him up for training, while last weekend he waited as a substitute in the Sevilla - Mallorca match with the seniors. A call-up that prevented him from being in the important match of the reserve team against Hércules, although fortunately the franjirrojos are in a very positive dynamic and have chained their fifth victory.

The Murcian did not have any minutes against the Vermilion team, but Pimienta has him in the pipeline, as well as his teammate García-Pascual . And it so happens that Sevilla FC currently only have youth team forwards available, at least until Akor Adams recovers from his injury. Thus, Isaac Romero is the only pure 'nine' that the Catalan coach has, hence his gaze is frequently set on the youth team.

This way, the players have a better chance of being showcased and Antonetti has aroused the interest of some MLS clubs . According to ABC de Sevilla, the Nervión club has received several calls to find out about the contractual situation of the reserve team striker . Being also Puerto Rican, the player is not considered a foreigner in the American league. An added value for the market.

The lack of coordination between the transfer windows of the different countries means that the technical secretariats are constantly on alert. If Brazil closes its transfer window on 28 February, in the United States the transfer window is open until 23 April. However, Sevilla does not have plans to sell Leandro Antonetti right now.

The 22-year-old striker has a market value of around 200,000 euros and the Seville club does not intend to lose a player who they believe can continue to contribute and grow within the Utrera road. There are expectations around the youngster and there is no intention of running away with him. In addition, losing a player at this stage, with the difficulty that comes with staying in the First Federation, does not appeal at all within the club.
