On loan will be a big problem for Monchi again

The planning of the next season of Seville will be marked again, one more summer, by the players who did not enter Lopetegui's plans almost a year ago and who have far from earned their return to Nervión. In fact, of the eleven players that Sevilla transferred to other clubs between the summer and winter markets, in which some even had to change clubs, only Carlos Fernandez It has been revalued and has shown a place in the squad next year.

Carlos Fernández's performance in Granada is the exception of Sevilla's loan. The youth squad has even knocked on the national team's doors and in the unlikely event that he was not available in Nervión, he could at least leave a juicy transfer in the coffers of the club. Is he opposite case to players like Kjaer, Arana or Amadou, forced to change their destination in winter for the little role they had in their first assignments. Arana worries less since his transfer to Atlético Mineiro, after failing in Atalanta, concludes in 2021. Kjaer also left Atalanta in January heading for a Milan that has a purchase option on him. Amadou, the first signing of the 18-19 season, failed at Norwich and ended up in a Leganes, in which he has only played one game.

Leganés in fact has been one of the clubs that has taken Sevilla out of the most problems this year, since the loan of Amadou It was the fourth that came from Nervión after Juan Soriano, Roque Mesa and Bryan Gil. The goalkeeper has not managed to unseat Cuéllar despite the injuries of his rival in the position, Roque Mesa has not come close to the level that made Sevilla bet on him while Bryan Gil is acting repellant. By age and projection, the situation of the latter is not a problem for Sevilla.

Aleix Vidal in Alavés and Gnagnon in Rennes have not been short of minutes, although they have not shown to be at the level required to belong to a squad that fights for the Champions League. Sergio Rico, despite his repeated substitutions, does have options to stay at PSG but the French will want to lower the purchase option that Sevilla put on his loan. And finally, Corchia continues to extend at Espanyol his ordeal of knee injuries, which has prevented him from playing since the end of November.

The balance is clear: Sevilla gave up eleven players, ten will return in the summer, unless one of the purchase options on them is exercised, and only one has used the season to knock on the door of the club that owns its federal rights. Monchi already affirmed last summer that his planning had lacked things because he had not been able to get economic performance from the players that were not available. The problem of a year ago aims to become a problem in a few months.
