The Sevillian club is preparing for the next campaign amidst shareholder and sporting uncertainty, following a season where they narrowly avoided relegation. The new sporting management has taken a step forward with the arrival of the Basque midfielder.
Jon Guridi, originally from Azpeitia, arrives in Seville after his contract with Deportivo Alavés concluded, a team where he played for the last four seasons. His signing comes at a time when the team's primary objective will once again be to remain in the top tier of Spanish football.
Known for his versatility, Guridi can play as an attacking midfielder or in a double pivot. His arrival could fit into coach García Plaza's system, especially with the potential departures of players like Nemanja Gudelj and Batista Mendy. He is noted for his great physical capacity and ability to cover large areas of the pitch.
A former teammate has praised his physical condition, noting that after overcoming a serious knee injury, he has consistently been available and shown remarkable effort. The sporting management, led by José Ignacio Navarro, is working on assembling the squad, although the club's precarious financial situation limits the registration of new signings.
