Jules Koundé and Diego Carlos they form a pair of centrals desired by many European clubs. Coveted in the market and undisputed headlines for Lopetegui, both give their competitors few options on the Sevilla squad. One of them is Sergi Gomez, who openly recognizes that he cannot do much to change this situation and assumes his replacement without fuss.
“It is clear that any player wants to play everything. You have to understand that we are many players, many high-level players, and luckily or unfortunately I have the best central team in Europe in my position. So my attitude has always been to work hard for when it's my turn to play. I would like to play more but it is the current situation ”, commented the Sevilla central defender, who also ends his contract next June.
The player trained in the Barcelona quarry and who came to Nervión from Celta was close to leaving Sevilla last summer, when Lopetegui told him that he would not have many opportunities to play. He had an offer from Atalanta and some important club in Turkey, but the player preferred not to move from Sánchez Pizjuán. “In the end it is clear that when you are comfortable in a place, you believe in a project and you are integrated into it, because there are some things that weigh more than others. There were options but our priority was to continue here and give continuity to the project, “explained the central in statements to” Radio Marca. “
