Joan Jordan it was one of the first stones he placed Monchi in his first project after his return to Sanchez-Pizjuan. Two and a half years later, the Catalan player is the one who has played the most games since then (135) and was recently renewed by Sevilla until 2027showing that a union has been reached between the parties that will soon lead to Number 8 to be one of the team captains. All that could change. Before Monchi appear on the scene, Jordan he had planned that his future residence would be in London. The West Ham He put all his effort into signing him. A last minute change gave him football in Nervión.
Jordan has publicly acknowledged that the Premier she had seriously gone after him, without making the suitor clear. The player’s agents and West Ham officials met in the English capital a few months before his departure from Eibar. The price of your clause (15 million) it wasn’t a problem. And one of those who was most interested in having Joan was the coach of the hummers, Manuel Pellegrini. The Chilean coach, now precisely in the Betisspoke directly with Jordán to explain the project and convince him that the jump to the Premier was what was best for him, that his football fit in with his idea and that I was not going to suffer the change of championship. Jordan thought about it a lot. Until a call from Seville questioned him.
Monchi explained the new project to him, with Lopetegui at the helm and the many changes he planned to make to the roster. City, club and the sports director himself weighed more on the decision of the midfielder, who gave up a juiciest contract for wearing white Sanchez-Pizjuan. Now fate has willed that it be measured West Ham on the Europe League. The protagonists are not the same, since Pellegrini he is no longer in London. He will meet the also Spanish Paul Fornals in the English ranks and it remains to be seen if the coveted travels Declan Rice.
Lopetegui is still aware of the absences and must count more than ever on the grounds of Jordan in the team, since Ferdinand should not appear in the call, while Delaney will miss the game through suspension. It will be the number 8 that will have to help the central defenders in getting the ball out and directing the team’s operations in pressing and when closing in on their goal. Jordán has gained experience in these years with Sevilla. He doesn’t know what could have happened if he accepted that offer from the West Ham. He is recognized and happy in Nervión. The coin in the air has come out heads.
