Sevilla FC is planning to bolster its midfield in the upcoming winter transfer market by bringing back Boubakary Soumaré, a French midfielder who was part of the team last season. Soumaré, who has experienced limited playing time at Leicester City this season, is reportedly open to the idea of returning to Sevilla, where he was a key player and held in high regard by both fans and the coaching staff. The deal is anticipated to be a loan with an option to purchase, estimated at approximately 14 million euros, which is notably lower than initially expected, thus easing the negotiation process. Leicester City is said to be willing to facilitate Soumaré's departure, potentially speeding up the transfer proceedings.

Boubakary Soumaré was regularly mentioned in discussions as a potential signing for AS Monaco. However, his salary demands of around €400,000 per month may have been a hindrance.

The track leading to Boubakary Soumaré from Leicester City is still being monitored by AS Monaco. Adi Hütter would like a confirmed player in this sector.
