Sevilla FC will strengthen itself with the attacking midfielder Hannibal. The 20-year-old should, as first “The Athletic“ reported, initially coming on loan from Manchester United. The struggling LaLiga club can then sign the Tunisian, who was born in Ivry-sur-Seine, France, with a purchase option for 20 million euros including bonuses.
In addition, the “Red Devils” are reportedly securing a buyback clause so that they can still have a say in the future of their talent. Transfer expert Fabrizio Romano released video footage on Monday afternoon showing Hannibal at his presentation in Seville. The deal should therefore be dry, but official confirmation from both clubs is still a long time coming. Hannibal, who arrived for a medical check on Monday, will be given the number 46 shirt in Seville.

The right-footed player moved from AS Monaco’s youth team to United in 2019 for 10 million euros; since then, Hannibal has only played 403 minutes for the English record champions, spread over 13 games, mainly in the current season. The 27-time international spent the 2022/23 season with Birmingham City in the Championship.
In view of a contract that is only valid until 2025 – United recently exercised a one-year option – the Premier League club is looking at an impressive fee of a rumored 20 million euros for youngster Hannibal. For Sevilla FC, currently 17th in the relegation zone, he is the second winter signing after Lucien Agoumé.
Most recently, Hannibal, who decided not to take part in the Africa Cup of Nations for a transfer, was also linked to SC Freiburg and Olympique Lyon. “Hannibal told me that he didn’t feel ready for the Africa Cup of Nations because he was in a difficult situation at the club,” said Tunisia coach Jalel Kadri at the end of December about his protégé’s non-nomination.
