Curiously, the players with the highest salaries in the Seville squad are the ones that are left over in Jorge Sampaoli’s tactical scheme, and his departure in the winter market is urgent
Beyond sports, the Sevilla F.C. analyze the players with salaries higher and at the same time they are not contributing much to the team. The criteria items for which Monchi and Sampaoli have discarded them from continuing in the Nervionense squad because of their poor performance but also because they receive large amounts of money.
Making an exception with Alex Telles, who still belongs to Manchester Utd, there are three players who do not enter into the plans of the Argentine coach. They are also the three footballers with the salaries higher than Seville. Two of them have a contract until 2024 and another until 2023, but the plan is to release all three in January.
The urgency in Nemanja Gudelj, one of the highest salaries in Seville
The Serbian midfielder is one of the three on the blacklist whose performance is low and whose salary is high. He is also the only one who has a contract until 2023 and for this reason his departure in January is urgent so that the Sevilla team obtains some economic return for him. However, the priority is to get him out of the squad, since his salaries of 5,187,000 million euros would greatly help the salary mass.
Although Gudelj is a starter in Sampaoli’s tactical scheme, the sports management has already ruled that there will be no renewal. However, the Argentine coach could change his mind and persuade Monchi. This season he has played 1,620 minutes spread over 19 games where he has started most of them.
The highest salaries in Sevilla are also in defense
The other two players who are part of the top 3 who probably will not continue in the Nervión club from 2023, are in defense and defensive midfield. We are speaking respectively of the right back Jesús Navas and the midfielder Ivan Rakitic. The latter is the one who earns the most in the Sevilla team, with a salary of 6,454,000 million euros.
The veteran winger, who already has 16 interrupted seasons with Sevilla FC, has a contract until 2024, but his salary of 4,463,000 million euros makes this campaign his last. Monchi, for his part, is waiting in his offices for offers for the three players to not only get rid of his high salaries, but also make profits with his departures.
