Sancho First, Hannibal Second, Man United Third Deal Completed and Medical Announced – Fabrizio drops latest Man United done deal after Hannibal completes move to Sevilla
In a notable development, Manchester United midfielder Hannibal Mejbri has sealed a loan move to Sevilla for the remainder of the season.
The Athletic initially reported the provisional agreement on Sunday, outlining that Sevilla has the option to make the transfer permanent in the summer for €20 million, inclusive of add-ons.
Additionally, United has secured a fixed buy-back clause and a sell-on clause for the talented 20-year-old midfielder.
Hannibal underwent his medical at Sevilla on Monday, formalizing his transition to the La Liga side currently grappling with a challenging season, just one place and one point above the relegation zone in Spain’s top flight.
If the deal is finalized, Manchester United stands to gain a substantial return on their investment in Hannibal, whose contract is set to expire in 2025.
The inclusion of a buy-back option provides United with a level of influence over the future of the Tunisian international.
Having joined United in 2019 from Monaco, Hannibal has accumulated 13 first-team appearances for the club, with 10 of them occurring this season, including a noteworthy start in the Premier League victory against Burnley in September.
