Sevilla's Lamela to Stay Through 2026 with Extended Contract

Sevilla's forward, Fernando "Lamela" Torres has extended his contract until the summer of 2026, keeping him at the club for another three years. The decision to extend the deal comes after a successful season for the Spanish club, which saw them secure their place in Europe's top competition.

The news was announced on Friday by Sevilla FC, who thanked Lamela and his family for their commitment to the team. The 29-year-old has been a key player for the club over the past few seasons, scoring 18 goals in all competitions this year alone.

Lamela is one of several high-profile players who have recently extended their contracts with Sevilla, including goalkeeper Antonio Palomo and defender Pablo Sarabia. The move also means that Sevilla will continue to be competitive in La Liga and the Champions League, despite losing star striker Carlos Bacca to AC Milan earlier this month.

In a statement released by Sevilla, the club said: "We would like to thank Fernando for his commitment and dedication to Sevilla. He has proven himself as one of the best strikers in the league and we look forward to continuing our partnership for many more years."

Lamela has already scored 55 goals in 174 appearances for Sevilla since joining from Deportivo de La Coruña in 2015. His return to form has helped the club to secure their place in Europe's elite competition for the next two years, and he remains a key player for the team going into the new season.
