Monchi, Sevilla’s revered sporting director, will reportedly have to pay a release of £3.8 million if he wants to leave the club, with Manchester United and Real Madrid said to be keen on acquiring him.
According to Pete Jenson of the MailOnline, despite the 47-year-old’s request to depart, the La Liga side have stood firm and told him to honour his contract until 2020. Sport has stated it’s a clause he will not pay, and as such he’ll stay with Sevilla.
According to Matt Law of the Daily Telegraph, Everton are eyeing a swoop for Monchi and Sevilla manager Unai Emery, while Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a move for him in the past.
