He Seville must find accommodation in the market for several players who will not be counted on by Xavier García Pimienta, some because of their high salary, and one of them is Gonzalo MontielIn his place, Victor Orta can count on Jesus Navas and the youngsters Juanlu Sanchez and Jose Angel Carmona, who returns from his loan to Getafe.
Montiel, after the fiasco of his loan move to Nottingham Forest, has provided Sevilla with a bit of joy by standing out for Argentina in his first game as a starter in the Copa America. The Albiceleste won 2-0 against Peru and the Sevilla player, who took the place of Atlético’s Nahuel Molina, a regular in Scaloni’s starting eleven, received praise from the press and public opinion in his country.
Montiel played the full 90 minutes and had perfect statistics. He won 100% of the duels and was not dribbled past by any opponent. He was one of the standouts for his national team.
The picture is clearing up somewhat for Sevilla in terms of their plans with a player who made history by scoring the penalty in the shoot-out that gave Argentina the World Cup title in Qatar and also Sevilla the Europa League in the final in Budapest.
