Another setback for Sevilla in the transfer market
Akor Adams, a Nigerian forward for Sevilla, has seen his market value halved, according to the newspaper AS.

His valuation, which was once 9 million, has fallen back to 5 million. 📸 CRISTINA QUICLER - AFP or licensors He is currently not registered in LaLiga, having a provisional card, although he is expected to return to training soon.

Junior Firpo rejoins Betis after Leeds exit
Junior Firpo has rejoined Real Betis after leaving Leeds United as a free agent. The 28-year-old previously spent five years at the Spanish club, progressing through their youth system and making 43 first-team appearances prior to joining Barcelona in 2019. Firpo joined Leeds from Barcelona in 2021 in a €15million ($17m) deal and signed a four-year contract which expired this summer, despite attempts from the Premier League club to renew his stay following their promotion to the top flight. The left-back helped Leeds to securing Premier League safety in his debut season, but could not prevent his side from suffering relegation in the following campaign. ⏺️🔼⏹️ ¿𝐓𝐞 𝐚𝐭𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐬 𝐚 𝐣𝐮𝐠𝐚𝐫 𝐨𝐭𝐫𝐚 𝐯𝐞𝐳? — Real Betis Balompié 🌴💚 (@RealBetis) July 17, 2025 A hamstring injury sidelined Firpo for six weeks spanning December and January, but the Dominican Republic international was otherwise a regular feature in Daniel Farke's side that earned automatic promotion by winning the Championship in 2024-25. The Dominican Republic international scored four goals and providing 10 assists in 32 Championship appearances last season, and played 119 times games for Leeds across four campaigns. Prior to his move to Elland Road, Firpo had played 41 matches across two seasons at Barcelona, whom he joined from Betis in 2019. ()

Bounou Extends Contract With Al Hilal After Club World Cup Heroics
Rabat – Moroccan international Yassine Bounou has ended speculation about his future by signing a contract extension with Saudi Arabia's Al Hilal, committing to the club until the summer of 2027. At 32, Bounou had been linked with a high-profile return to Europe, with Sevilla—his former club—reportedly eager to bring him back as their primary goalkeeper target for the summer transfer window. However, his new deal with Al Hilal dashes those hopes and strengthens the Riyadh-based club's ambitions to maintain their dominance both domestically and on the international stage. The timing of his decision comes on the back of a remarkable campaign at the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup, where Bounou and fellow Moroccan Achraf Hakimi earned spots in the tournament's Best XI. His performances in the United States elevated him further in global esteem, especially after a record-equalling 10 saves against Manchester City and another heroic display in a narrow 2–1 defeat to Fluminense. Bounou ranked third among the tournament's top shot-stoppers, with his key interventions keeping Al Hilal competitive at every stage. Club sources indicate that Sevilla had been counting on Bounou's potential desire to return to European football. But his new contract suggests he has found a sense of belonging—and perhaps a fresh challenge—in Riyadh. For Sevilla, the rejection is a setback, forcing them to reassess their summer transfer plans. Currently enjoying a well-earned vacation in Morocco after his Club World Cup exploits, Bounou leaves no doubt about his priorities: aligning his prime years with a club that matches his ambition. By extending his stay, Bounou sends a clear message, not just about his loyalty to Al Hilal but also about his role in the Saudi Pro League's broader aspirations to attract and retain elite talent.
