Sevilla FC announced on Thursday that their revered captain and veteran player, Jesus Navas, will be departing the club after the current season.

The 38-year-old full-back, boasting a remarkable career spanning 17 seasons with the La Liga side, will be concluding his illustrious journey with the team where it all began.

Navas, who has accumulated an impressive 688 appearances across all competitions for Sevilla, achieved a milestone by reaching his 500th La Liga appearance for the Andalucian side this week.

Throughout his tenure, Navas showcased his versatility, transitioning from a winger to a right-back, and contributed significantly with 39 goals and 119 assists for Sevilla.

His remarkable career has been adorned with eight trophies, including four Europa League titles, two Copa del Rey triumphs, the European Super Cup, and the Spanish Super Cup.

Despite a brief stint with Manchester City between 2013 and 2017, where he clinched the Premier League and two League Cups, Navas’s heart remained with Sevilla, as he returned to the club where he left an indelible mark.

Williams has a €58 million (£48.1m) release clause in his deal and was close to joining the LaLiga champions last year.

Ex-Liverpool boss, Jurgen Klopp, has warned summer signing Florian Wirtz about meeting expectations at the Premier League champions.

The £116m that the Reds will pay Bayer Leverkusen for the 22-year-old, makes him the most expensive British player.

And Klopp fears that the price tag will put a target on Wirtz’s back.

He however hailed Wirtz as an “outstanding player”, while stating that the playmaker will be “aware” of his substantial fee.

“There’s no question about it, it’s an insane sum, and one that a player at Liverpool is aware of if things don’t go well for two or three games,” Klopp told Welt.

“He’s an outstanding player who can give any club something great.

“Whether he’ll make the reigning English champions even better remains to be seen.”
