Club would need ‘large settlement’ to take Aston Villa man – They believe it’s ‘impossible’

Monchi will always be linked with Sevilla, despite which club he’s at.

During the transfer guru’s period with AS Roma, he was repeatedly linked with a return to the Spanish club and, with no real shock to anyone, that’s where he ended up.

Despite this time leaving under a cloud for Aston Villa, and there being some controversies since he left, there still remains the assumption among some that Monchi will one day be in charge at Sevilla again.

Obviously that won’t be in the near future.

Things are too raw, recent reports in Spain have made it clear that Monchi started to implode somewhat in his final months and the huge controversy with Isco, who revealed fights with the Aston Villa man, is too recent.

Isco doing so well at Sevilla’s rivals Real Betis, isn’t helping that situation much.

Nevertheless, board member José María del Nido Banavente has been asked about the possible return.

Quoted by Mucho Deporte, he said: “Monchi cannot return. He has a contract with an English team that makes it impossible for him to leave, with a large settlement.”

Not one for the near future, then.
