Aston Villa look set to fail with a €20m bid for the midfielder but ‘negotiations are open’, while Monchi is also pushing to sign a former Man City forward.
Everyone and everything seems to be perfectly suited. Aston Villa could be about to boom under Unai Emery and Monchi, domestically and in Emery’s playground of European competition.
Chelsea chairman and co-owner Boehly is reportedly interested in bringing Sevilla sporting director Monchi to Stamford Bridge.
Barca swooped in ahead of the Blues to agree a deal to sign Kounde yesterday for €50m…
Monchi is clearly very eager to sell the centre-back this summer, but he’s no ‘fortune teller’.
“He has a high cost, because he cost €80m, and a very high salary, although we don’t have to pay for everything.”
“What you have to do is touch the perfect spot for these qualities to reappear… Everyone has their needs.”
The Mapgies are looking to bring in a centre-back this month…
The Magpies are eager to improve their defence further…
“The proposal for Kounde last summer [from Chelsea] was great, the most important we received in our history.”
Kounde had agreed personal terms with Chelsea, but Sevilla refused to accept the Blues’ offer.
Man Utd have reportedly made their first move for a La Liga defender…
Monchi said he “can’t believe” a club of Manchester United’s size wouldn’t have a sporting director.
United’s approach to the transfer market is ‘perplexing’. So get in someone who knows what they’re doing.
Sevilla’s director of football doesn’t understand Man Utd’s reluctance to bring in a transfer expert.
While Arsenal do nothing, Sevilla are revamping their squad thanks to that man Monchi…
Monchi quotes a Leeds Utd chief while explaining why he opted to snub Arsenal and return to Sevilla.
Arsenal were keen to recruit Monchi but the sporting director has chosen to return to Sevilla…
If you were right about something once, you must be right about everything else ever. Plus Monchi to Arsenal and more…
Roma have announced that their sporting director Monchi has left the club via mutual agreement.
Arsenal need a new head of recruitment. As ever when any such post becomes available, Monchi is linked.
Roma director Monchi has issued a firm response to rumours that he could join Man United.
Man United have put a little director of football shortlist together. That Monchi fella is on it.
Roma confirm that Alisson “is in Liverpool”. They sound awfully grateful for his time in Italy.
Rio Ferdinand questioned whether Eusebio di Francesco had even seen Liverpool play this season.
Monchi accepts Liverpool are ‘an extremely strong side’ but the Roma chief is relishing the semi-final.
Alisson is happy at Roma and, anyway, there have been no bids for the in-demand keeper. Yet…
Roma say Salah now looks massively under-priced. But he still went for “double what their first offer was”.
Forget transfers. “Let’s talk about play, technique, tactics. That’d be more useful for everyone.” Amen, Monchi.
Despite being linked with Sevilla’s sporting director, Utd will leave their business in Ed’s capable hands…
