Jorge Sampaoli is already in the business of recruiting players for the new project launched by Monchi, even as the club accelerates their bid to strengthen the squad. The Argentine football coach wants to take the club back to where it belongs.

Jorge Sampaoli was in talks with Sevilla for over a month before he was installed to be the new coach of the club following the dismissal of Julen Lopetegui.

Right now, the 62-year-old Argentine coach wants three key players in his new team, according to Fichajes.

Gabigol (Gabriel Barbosa)

Gabigol tops the list of players Jorge Sampaoli wants to play at Sevilla. The Argentine knows the ability of the Flamengo forward and has already outlined his plans for the forward if he joins the Spanish club. He would cost the club around 30 million euros according to our previous article.

Why does Sevilla want Gabigol? Club president Monchi sees a weak spot in the team’s frontline, which consists of Rafa Mir, Kasper Dolberg and Youssef En-Nesyri and he wants to add a re-enforcement, and the Brazilian is an ideal option, although his contract with Flamengo runs through December 2024.

Lucas Martinez Quarta

Since the start of the season, Sevilla has conceded loads of goals in all competitions, especially in the Champions League, where the team recorded humiliating defeats to Man City and Dortmund.

Jorge Sampaoli wants to change the state of Sevilla’s defense which had been left vulnerable amid the departure of Koundé and Diego Carlos.

Lucas Martínez Quarta plays for Fiorentina in the Italian Serie A and has been outstanding for the club. He could cost the club around 20 million euros.

Lucas Ocampos

Ocampos left Sevilla for Ajax in the Dutch league on loan. However, Sampaoli wants him to return to the club immediately.
