Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli has already started working towards some new signings during the January transfer window, with Manchester United's Anthony Martial at the top of his wanted list.
Leicester City await the Andalusians in the Champions League and top-level footballers who want to play in European football's premier competition are now being linked to the club.
RMC Sports suggest Martial, former player of Monaco and for whom the Red Devils paid 50 million euros in the summer of 2015, is not having the leading role he had hoped for under Jose Mourinho, and Sevilla want to take him on loan.
Talks between [sporting director] Monchi and the player's agent have already begun, although recruiting the talented forward will not be easy for two reasons.
Firstly, despite not having a fixed place in the eleven (only seven games so far in the Premier League), he is part of the usual rotation at United.
On Monday, for example, he played the last 15 minutes against Sunderland, replacing Juan Mata.
He can play in the Champions League
In addition, and as reported by France Football during Sunday afternoon, the player himself would have serious doubts as to whether to look for an exit in January, even on loan.
Yet Martial, 21, fulfils the main requirements Monchi seeks to reinforce Sevilla's attack: youth, goals, technique and speed, as well as not having played minutes in the Champions League this season, which would allow him to participate in the competition for his new club.
Sevilla won't lose sight of other alternatives, such as Borja Baston, Mariano Diaz, or Carlos Bacca in the event that the young Frenchman can't be persuaded.
