Manchester United forward set to embark on permanent journey to Sevilla
Manchester United’s young forward, Mateo Mejia, is on the brink of making a permanent move to La Liga side Sevilla, as reported by renowned Italian transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. The ink is poised to dry on this groundbreaking deal next week, signaling the end of Mejia’s stint at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old Spaniard, who arrived at the hallowed grounds of Manchester United’s academy from Real Zaragoza in 2019, is set to depart the Red Devils on a free transfer. However, United has astutely safeguarded their interests by including a shrewd 25% sell-on clause in the impending contract.
Despite signing a fresh deal with Manchester United just last June, Mejia’s tenure with the English giants is set to conclude at the end of the ongoing season. While he was a regular feature in the Premier League 2 last season and frequented first-team training sessions, the elusive senior debut eluded him.
Sevilla emerges as the prospective launchpad for the Colombian under-20 international to finally catapult his professional career into high gear. The footballing aficionados eagerly await Mejia’s integration into the La Liga powerhouse, where he aspires to etch his mark on the pitch.
However, Mejia isn’t the sole Manchester United prodigy making waves in the transfer market. Hannibal Mejbri, the Tunisian attacking midfielder, is reportedly set to join Sevilla on loan until the culmination of the season, despite fervent interest from Everton.
Opting to skip the ongoing African Cup of Nations to facilitate this pivotal move, Mejbri spurned advances from Olympique Lyon and Freiburg to don the Sevilla colors.
This dynamic 20-year-old is poised to showcase his prowess in a bid to secure a coveted spot in Sevilla’s first-team lineup for the upcoming season. A potential partnership with Mejia on the pitch beckons, painting a promising picture for the Spanish outfit.
While Mejia bids farewell to Manchester United, the inclusion of a sell-on clause ensures that the Red Devils stand to gain from any future transfer moves the Spaniard might make. The exit of these burgeoning talents marks just the beginning of a broader exodus from the Theatre of Dreams.
As Sir Jim Ratcliffe assumes the role of co-owner, the hallowed corridors of Old Trafford are abuzz with anticipation of a significant squad overhaul. The impending changes, poised to sweep through the club, reflect a strategic vision for the future, as Manchester United braces itself for a new era under fresh ownership.
