Lucas Ocampos seems to be losing patience awaiting a transfer. The Ajax attacker, who came over from Seville on a rental basis last summer, has made himself heard through a message on Instagram. On Wednesday, Ocampos will post an hourglass and a face with rolling eyes indicating that a situation is boring or irksome. Sevilla coach Jorge Sampaoli would like to use Ocampos in the fight against relegation, but the financial conditions for a return to LaLiga are the stumbling block.
There has been talk for some time of an early return of Ocampos to Seville. The winger is in principle rented from the Andalusians for six months, but does not have to count on much playing time under Alfred Schreuder. The last time he made an appearance was in the Champions League meeting with Napoli in mid-October, when he came on for Steven Bergwijn seven minutes before the end. He hasn’t even been part of the match selection in recent weeks.
The Instagram Story of Lucas Ocampos
Sevilla wants Ajax to continue to pay the Argentinian’s salary when Ocampos returns to the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. In addition, the club does not want to refund any of the rent paid. However, Ajax does not like this at the moment and hopes for better financial conditions, in order to finally get rid of the expensive winger. Ocampos has only played 114 minutes for the team from Amsterdam since his rental transfer and can be regarded as one of Schreuder’s many bad buys.
In Seville, Ocampos seems to be able to use well, as the club is still in eighteenth place in Spain. Sampaoli still knows the right foot from his first term at the club and is charmed by his qualities. The ten-time international of la Albiceleste previously played 135 games for Sevilla, in which he scored 34 goals and fifteen assists. Lately he has been regularly spotted in the center of Seville with World Cup goer Papu Gómez. The attacker seems to have already said goodbye to Ajax informally.
