Monchi He asked a few days ago, in his usual messages on social networks, “patience” his fans for the project he wants to build this summer. It is from the years where the sports director he feels like a fish in water, although he is certainly overwhelmed by the large number of operations that he must carry out in these months. At least there is no international competition that stops the market completely. They are already moving. And in accounting matters, as soon as the barrier of July 1 is overcome, reinforcements will begin to arrive. As in all planning there are two legs: club and coach. The last meeting between Monchi and Lopeteguithis very week, laid the foundations for the Seville of the present and future. They talked about settled personal matters and how to flip the template. Almost 30 professionals with a contract. It is time to speak clearly.
Because for Lopetegui and Monchi himselfthe first point of this project that will live a new beginning, despite the fact that the two legs that support it remain the same, focuses on opening the locker room doors and windows. A practically permanent staff since 2019 and that it has achieved all the programmed objectives. Even so, the coach has detected that he needs new blood in football and also mentally. New ambitions of newcomers and erase roles that professionals cling to when the relationship becomes lasting. The coach would like a full-fledged cleanup, although he knows that in football it is almost impossible. Especially in a team that wins a lot. At least the value of those footballers to take out is still important. Another issue is discards.
because in 2019as a second step, Lopetegui came to set aside a large number of players with which he did not count for the following exercise. He barely knew them from a few training sessions. Now it will not be so simple. Because they might even end up staying and being used. There is a long list of transferable names, which does not mean that they end up dating. That will be dictated by the market. Another thing is the on loan that return to Sánchez-Pizjuán, with the conviction that they will be transferred again to another destination. Neither club nor coach will beat around the bush there. They know where the squad should improve and also which herbs should disappear from the locker room.
Strong financial commitment
with the expected sale of koundé and some more of players with an important poster, but transferable, Monchi will have a certain financial muscle to go to the market. Last step. But not everyone who wanted. It is not the same situation as in 2019, where it was spent well above the income, hoping that it would later be compensated in later years with Champions classifications and sales. The pandemic, more erroneous decisions in terms of signings, have weighed down the accounts. Too much own funds have been thrown away. Combining economic prudence and bold signing is quite a challenge. Sell what you can and reinvest in players with more future than presentas much as Lopetegui also ask for a more contrasted gift. The greatest effort will be in the defense center and in that player band imbalancer They have been looking for three years, both sports director and coach, and they do not finish finding. Lopetegui and Monchi speak the same language again. That of betting heavily on changing almost everything for a new Seville with the same winning stamp of the last three years.
