Nottingham Forest purchase now ‘ruled out’ – Player ‘relegated to the most absolute ostracism’

When Gonzalo Montiel had a sequence of appearances for Nottingham Forest between December and February, the Spanish media felt that could be the turning point for the fullback at the City Ground.

The 27-year-old, who’s loaned from Sevilla, had been of little use for the Premier League side at the start of the season. Despite all those games played following Christmas, he’s now back on the bench, nearly forgotten at the English club.

Spain’s El Desmarque writes about this situation, making it clear that Montiel will not stay at Nottingham Forest, as that possibility is ‘ruled out’.

The Reds would’ve been obligated to buy the fullback had he played 50% of their games this season, with a €11m clause set at the time of the loan. Now since he’s ‘relegated to the most absolute ostracism’, that possibility is gone.

The story claims Sevilla are ‘losing’ that amount, and will now have to find a new solution for Montiel in the summer. They also make it clear that the player is highly unlikely to earn the salary he had agreed with Nottingham Forest, where he hasn’t played in two months now.
