Levante-Sevilla this Monday in La Nucía (7:30 p.m.), apart from the curiosity of the premiere of what will be the home of the granota team in this strange and publicless final of the championship, presents the appeal of José Gómez's participation Campaign, possibly at the best moment of his career, against the club where he was formed and who has been trying to sign him since last summer.
Monchi already presented an offer for the Sevillian midfielder that was rejected by Levante, who immediately renewed its organizer with a millionaire contract until 2023 with a 60 million clause and 3.2 million euros of annual salary. Quico Catalán's commitment to the Campaign was a step forward and a declaration of intent after rejecting the 20 million that the Nervian entity offered for one of the players trained at home. Levante was planted in the 30 million of its clause and finally the transfer was not carried out.
But Monchi has not lost sight of Campaña, whose performance has grown more and more and is among the futures for the Spanish team. Julen Lopetegui knows him from his time in Porto when he was still very young and in the lower categories of the Spanish team (he was European champion twice with the sub 19) and values his maturation process, which has been very satisfactory in Levante .
For Sevilla, the squad formed in their ranks would be the perfect substitute for Banega, who has announced that he will not continue next season by acquiring a commitment with Al Shabab from Saudi Arabia.
This Monday's game, therefore, becomes a special occasion for Campaña when measuring his former team and having the opportunity to demonstrate that Monchi is willing to make the investment. Although there is nothing signed, in Valencia they do defend that there is a verbal commitment by Catalán not to prevent a transfer that is of interest to both parties. The future will tell, but the appointment is marked in red for a player for whom his return to Seville would be to go one step further and for the Andalusian team the opportunity to repatriate one of his talents and cover one of the four youth squad tokens that these years it has had to leave free in the lists for the European competitions.
