It advances, but at a snail’s pace. Sevilla’s planning is pending what happens with the future of its sports director, Monchi, and, meanwhile, it is in ‘stand by’.
For something the Lion of San Fernando advised, in their meeting on Monday, that Fernando Navarro be his replacement. At this point in the season, the positions to be reinforced have already been decided, the lists of substitutes have been made and, in many cases, the scores and negotiations have already advanced. And the former Sevilla captain, Monchi’s right hand, is aware of all of them and the succession, at least this summer, would not be traumatic.
One of the positions to be filled will be center forward. It is expected that Rafa Mir will look for a way out -Celta have it in mind, especially if Patience leaves- and, even, it is not ruled out that a powerful club comes for En-Nesyri. Hence the need for this list, unlike others, to be bulging and, being the most expensive position to cover, to make progress before the month of July. Either that, or wait for the ‘discards’ of the last day to achieve affordable prices or level players.
Gimenez, Morelos or Taty Castellanos
Santiago Gimenezone of the preferred options, seems more complicated every day, given its great season and the rivals that have appeared. Taty Castellanosfor which you have asked, costs 15 million and Benfica and West Ham are also in the fight. Alfredo Morelos It could come for free, but it also has Premier League rivals. And there is always someone who has not yet appeared this summer, but who is very popular in Nervión: Lucas Boye.
The Argentine striker has not had the best season with Elche, but he has had a good ending, like the Elche team itself. In this bad year he has scored 7 goals and given 4 assists, numbers far from those he offered last year, but which attest to his opportunism in front of goal in a team with little achievement.
A few days ago it was known that, with the relegation of Elche to Segunda, its termination clause dropped from 25 to 15 million euros. And the possible destinations were preparing to sink their teeth into it. Getafe, who will have to replace the injured Enes Unal, appeared among the first. Lazio, Atlético and Sevilla were still there, but Christian Bragarnik.
For all intents and purposes, the Argentine striker’s contract ends next year, but Onda Cero and several Elche media confirm that there was an agreement between the soccer agent and Elche president and his compatriot to renew that contract until 2026, so Elche will have the upper hand when it comes to negotiating. He will not have the added pressure of his main asset leaving for free in a year and, despite playing in the Second Division, he counts on it when planning the ‘return season’.
