The 22-year-old spoke to the media at Seville airport as he prepared to fly to England to complete the deal, which will see him sign a contract through June 2030 with the club now coached by Marco Rose, reports Xinhua.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"At the end of the day, it's a good project to continue growing, and it's what we both needed,\" said Juanlu, who will reportedly cost Bournemouth around 11 million euros (12.7 million U.S. dollars), providing a much-needed boost to Sevilla's finances.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"The club (Sevilla) needed that income, and I also needed to keep growing. Leaving home is always complicated, but when I saw the project and the club saw the offer, I think neither of us had many doubts,\" he admitted.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Juanlu acknowledged that the deal had taken a long time to finalise but said he was \"really looking forward to what's to come.\"<\/p>\r\n\r\n
\"These have been wonderful years, some a little tough, but in the end, we've all pulled through,\" added the defender, who said he would be \"cheering for\" Sevilla wherever he was.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Meanwhile, Sevilla have confirmed the signing of goalkeeper Fran Gonzalez from Real Madrid.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
The 21-year-old has signed a contract through June 2031 to become Sevilla's sixth signing of the summer. He made one first-team appearance for Real Madrid and played 46 times for the club's B team, while also featuring regularly for Spain at U-20 and U-21 level.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
Sevilla has reportedly paid around one million euros for 50 percent of Gonzalez's rights, with Real Madrid retaining a stake that would allow it to profit from any future sale.<\/p>\r\n\r\n
