According to the Spanish outlet Fichajes (h/t Manchester Evening News), Sevilla wants to lure midfield sensation Hannibal Mejbri from Manchester United in the upcoming transfer windows.
Sevilla looked into the idea of signing Hannibal last summer. Although there were contacts with the player and his entourage, the negotiations did not go well, in part because United firmly opposed them.
Mejbri scored his first Premier League goal against Brighton earlier this season and has continued to show his passion in a red jersey. Despite Erik ten Hag’s men struggling to make an impact, the young Tunisian continues to stand out.
The player’s attitude toward his present contract will have a significant impact on Sevilla’s likelihood of success in this endeavour. Although United have the possibility to extend it until 2025, there is yet to be a breakthrough in negotiations between both teams.
The United board is also anticipated to start discussions to ensure Mejbri’s long-term employment with the club. His willingness to fight for the badge certainly stands out.
The young midfielder has so far opted to maintain his composure and concentrate on his everyday tasks. Mejbri has made the decision to postpone formal talks on the subject for a few months, even though he is open to discussing a potential renewal.
This might allow Sevilla the chance to carry on with his enticement tactics and maintain the possibility of having him join their ranks in the future.
They might make a great acquisition if they can sign him in the coming months for a fair price. The 20-year-old is extremely talented and might rapidly establish himself as a key member of Sevilla’s team. However, losing the player would be a severe setback for United.
When the time comes, Sevilla shall do whatever it takes to make sure that this Manchester United treasure can shine at the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán.
