Sevilla Moves Tanguy Nianzou to Lille

Transfer Agreement Announced

Sevilla FC has confirmed that Tanguy Nianzou will not continue with the club for the upcoming season. The Spanish side reached an agreement with Ligue 1 outfit LOSC Lille for the defender’s transfer. In their statement, Sevilla thanked Nianzou for his cooperation and wished him success in his next chapter.

The 24‑year‑old centre‑back faced a difficult campaign in 2025/26, limited to just 12 league matches. Of those appearances, eight were starts, the remainder coming from the bench. Muscular problems repeatedly sidelined him, preventing a fuller contribution.

Media outlets had been linking Nianzou to several clubs throughout the summer. Speculation intensified as interest from French clubs grew, culminating in Lille finalizing the deal. The transfer marks a return to his home country after time in Andalusia.

Nianzou joined Sevilla in 2020 and gradually established himself in the backline. Injuries have hampered his progress, and the reduced playing time underscored the challenges he faced last term. The move to Lille offers a fresh opportunity to re‑ignite his career at a higher level.
