ANDhe Seville looks with healthy envy how three Spanish teams have gotten into the Champions League quarterfinals. especially to Athletic and Villarreal, rivals of the Andalusians in the league fight to get that coveted ticket to play the next edition of the top continental competition. People from Madrid and Castellón were with one foot out in the group stage. They did not fail on the key day and they knew how to bend eighths to more powerful rivals on paper and in a foreign field. A flood of millions of euros to compensate balances and think how to invest next year. Quite the opposite of a Seville to which is added, to the sports pain, a terrible concern to square a budget swollen by the forecast of reaching precisely those quarterfinals of the Champions. Nor those of the Europe League has played as lesser evil.
Because Sevilla had already reluctantly assumed a hole of 30 million (after budgeting something over 80) by falling in the group stage. However, passing rounds of the Europe League and dreaming of lifting the title, these losses could soften and even compensate. Nothing is further from reality. little more than one million to overcome the Dynamo in the first round of the qualifiers. The bite to the bills is still tremendous. Even more so after the unexpected investment of signing the tecatito in January and add the costly transfer of Martial. Two reinforcements to add to some numbers marked in red and that were already very affected from last year, where the Seville recognized some losses of more than 40 million, settled with half of the own funds that the entity had been amassing in previous years. Each elimination is a scratch of many millions of euros.
It is evident that the Seville will now focus on finishing among the top four in leaguetrying to be as high as possible in order to increase their income, even being able to participate in that Spain Supercup that would only give him being second classified. When it’s all over, with one more month to go until the end of the financial year, it will be time to get rid of one of the team figures, no matter how much it hurts. The sporting failure in Europe contrasts with the Sevilla’s economic effortholding on for Third year a project without major sales, moving away from that modus operandi that gave so many sporting and economic successes in the past. The wage mass, also very high, should be reviewed. Weigh euro house. a summer of tighten your belt and analyze what investments are necessary. Bit by bit, the sevillistas accounts have been shivering.
