Sevilla is reportedly on the verge of sanctioning the departure of their defensive player, Tanguy Nianzou, in the coming days. This move comes as the French international is understood to be nearing an imminent return to his home country, with Ligue 1 side LOSC Lille emerging as his likely destination.

Nianzou has just concluded a frustrating 2025/26 season with Sevilla, largely hampered by recurring muscular injuries. The 24-year-old defender managed only 12 league appearances, starting in eight of those matches.

Recent weeks have seen mounting speculation regarding Nianzou's potential exit from Sevilla. As confirmed by transfer market insider Matteo Moretto, significant progress has been made towards this transfer. Moretto reported, "Lille are very close to signing Tanguy Nianzou Kouassi. Negotiations between the parties are very advanced."
