La Liga Race for Enes Unal: Sevilla Involved

Sevilla have turned their attention to Bournemouth striker Enes Unal in their search for attacking reinforcements. According to journalist Matteo Moretto, the Andalusian club has already made an initial enquiry into the 29-year-old's transfer terms. While Sevilla's priority remains CA Tigre's David Romero, the Argentine club's high financial demands and fierce international competition are complicating that deal, prompting the club's management to explore Unal as an alternative option.

According to the report, Sevilla are not alone in the race — both Getafe and Deportivo Alaves are also pursuing the Turkish forward and working to bring him in this summer. Unal, who knows Spanish football well from his spells at Villarreal, Levante, Real Valladolid and particularly Getafe, where he had his best spell, is not part of Bournemouth's plans and is expected to leave the English club this summer. Sevilla's strong institutional relationship with Bournemouth, developed in parallel through the Juanlu Sanchez transfer, could also work in the club's favour in this pursuit.

It's noted that head coach Luis Garcia Plaza is looking for a hierarchical No. 9 to lead his attack, with Unal's ability to hold up play, work with his back to goal, and finish in the box fitting that profile. Compared to Romero, who would represent an investment for the future, Unal is seen as offering proven scoring ability and immediate impact within Spanish football.
