The departure of Nemanja Gudelj from Sevilla Fútbol Club marks the end of an era for the club. His exit leaves Joan Jordán as the sole representative of the team that once thrilled under Julen Lopetegui, a squad that competed for top honors, a stark contrast to the current struggle for survival.
The Catalan midfielder, who arrived in Seville in 2019, has seen his playing time reduced to a mere 166 minutes across five matches this season in LaLiga and the Copa del Rey. Despite numerous coaches passing through the Sevilla dugout, the player has fallen into obscurity, a situation exacerbated by the assault he suffered during the Gran Derbi in the Benito Villamarín on January 17, 2022.
The arrival of Luis García Plaza at Sevilla Fútbol Club had raised hopes for Jordán to regain prominence, recalling his time at Deportivo Alavés. However, the team's dynamics in Nervión have not allowed the former Eibar player to accumulate significant minutes, despite the shortcomings shown by other teammates when needed.
With one year left on his contract, Joan Jordán was notably singled out last summer market for not accepting a salary reduction that would have allowed the club to register players. This situation, similar to that of Tanguy Nianzou, reflects the club's challenging financial reality, a stark contrast to the salaries of a bygone era. The player, aside from financial considerations, appears to lack support to continue with a team whose past glory has crumbled.
