The Sevilla made the signing of Gonzalo montiel for the current season, where he will seek to break the glass ceiling and fight for the La Liga title. Julen Lopetegui and Monchi’s project is growing with the passing of the seasons, but it is time to take a new leap in quality and try to compete against the greats of La Liga. Atlético de Madrid, Real Madrid and FC Barcelona.
The Seville team closed a new addition in this summer market after the arrivals of Marko Dmitrovic, Erik Lamela and the almost certain incorporation of Jesus Tecatito Corona, who would arrive from FC Porto for 12 million euros. A sensational market, the kind Monchi usually does at the Ramón Sánchez Pizjuan.
The reasons why the signing of Gonzalo Montiel to Sevilla is perfect
-Situation of the player: Gonzalo Montiel entered his last year of contract at River Plate in December. He made the decision to renew to be able to leave and leave money at the club, the opposite case of Rafael Santos Borré. His price, taking into account that he is an important piece in the Argentine team, is low and much more if we consider that he was one of the best full-backs in America in recent years.
-Need for the short / long term: Sevilla needed a right-back to fill the role of substitute for Jesús Navas and to become a starter when the captain retires. Montiel is a footballer who can adapt to this role and can give the Spaniard a break, who needs it to have a few more years in his career.
Montiel has the quality to make a difference in the games that he starts and that, because he is just making the leap to Europe, he can have a secondary role, but with minutes.
-Ideal place for the growth of the player: For the player the context is ideal. It does not come to be a starter, but it will have minutes to stand out. Lopetegui uses his full-backs a lot in attack, so he will have the possibility of being aggressive in the opponent’s field and have a disposition that supports him. He has several teammates as teammates (Ocampos, Papu Gómez, Acuña and we can add Lamela, who also left River Plate). It has everything to adapt to a new country and club in the best way.
