The sports director of San Fernando will have to wait for a new offer
Monchi had big goals for Sevilla FC in this transfer market, but for this he had to first close the sale of several important players. The first to leave was Diego Carlos, who left an amount close to 30 million euros in the club’s coffers. However, ever since output operation is stuck and for the moment the goodbye of any of them has not materialized.
Koundé I was second off the exit ramp, but Chelsea’s institutional mess completely paralyzed his signing. So much so that right now the London team has focused on the signing of another central defender. A center-back for which they will also pay a significant sum of money, so it seems very unlikely that they will also undertake another million-dollar operation for the Frenchman.
Monchi’s failure at Sevilla FC with the sale of Koundé
Last summer, Monchi rejected a proposal from the blues to sign Koundé. The figure that Chelsea put on the table was 65 million euros, but the club stopped the central defender’s departure to try to fight for the Santander League and the Champions League. However, the season has been a disaster, as Lopetegui’s men have not managed to fight for any of the titles.
Now, when everything seemed to indicate that Chelsea would again put an offer close to 60 million euros on the table to take Koundé, everything has taken an unexpected turn. The London team has decided to close the signing of Aké, for which they will pay 40 million euros to Manchester City. In this way they have already closed the arrival of a central defender, which was one of Tuchel’s priorities.
The only alternative to remove Koundé from Sevilla FC
At the moment, with Chelsea out of the bid for Koundé, Sevilla FC only has a proposal from FC Barcelona. A proposal that does not convince the Seville club, since the situation of the azulgranas forces them to make a payment in installments, in addition to many variables due to the player’s own goals and performance. However, if the player wants to leave, at this time he is the only option.
This could be considered one of Monchi’s great failures, as he turned down 65 million euros for a central defender who could now leave for less and in conditions that do not favor Sevilla FC. For now, it only remains to wait to see how the future of the French center-back is resolved, who wants to fight for great goals such as the Champions League next year. However, little by little he is running out of destinations.
