Sevilla, one of the most successful clubs in Spanish football, has announced that they have extended the contract of forward Lucas Ocampos (Lamela) until June 30, 2026.

The news comes as a relief for the Argentine player, who had been linked with a move away from the club due to his lack of game time and the emergence of new talent at Sevilla.

Lamela has made just three appearances for Sevilla this season, despite being a key member of their squad last term. The club has now given him the opportunity to prove himself once more and secure his future at the club.

The 25-year-old has scored two goals and provided three assists in 18 games for Sevilla this season, but he has struggled to find regular playing time under head coach José Antonio Camacho.

However, the club's decision to extend his contract until 2026 is a positive sign for the Argentine, who has been a valuable asset to Sevilla over the years.

It remains to be seen whether this will be enough to convince him to stay at Sevilla long-term, or if he will seek a move elsewhere in the coming months.

Regardless, it is clear that Lamela is an important part of the Sevilla squad and the club's fans will hope that he can continue to perform well on the pitch.
