Maybe a 2+1 extension or similar.

Yes, very respectable and valuable workforce and good enough for multiple roles as substitute. We do need to aim higher. But as a part of a 25 man squad and rotate when necessary I think heās enough. Especially now weāre not in a luxurious situation and finding other options isnāt that easy.
Furthermore, heās good influence in the press, we mocked him for being Lopeās son in law, or even his secret lover (who knows). But the work he has done for the team, always available when needed and never a bad word from his side. Exemplary team player. He accepted a salary decrease last summer iirc, and well thatās a sign, both of us overpaying, but also of him still being grateful for being here which is great. Is it expected that the extension, and after a world-class goal come with a salary raise again? Bit contradictory, but football changes quickly so, 2+1 sounds fine for me.

I would say YES! Heās everything you want for a role player. Can play multiple positions, plays hard, and seems like a great locker-room guy.
With Fernandoās constant injuries of late, I think it he is valuable at the right price. I wouldnāt want to overspend on him and I wouldnāt want his resigning to stand in our way of searching for a younger CDM with high potential.
When Sampaoli was here the first time we were stacked there with Nonzi, Iborra, and Kranevitter (I know I know).

I said no, just because of his high salary. A role player cannot be among the highest paid players in the club. If he take a big pay cut, then I also think that his contract should be extended.

I would keep him. Heās a real team player and has done a good job when called upon in a difficult situation this year.
He offers versatility and passion and plays for the shirt. Think weāll all remember that strike against Mallorca!
No his name isnāt āstellarā and he probably would have struggled to get in past Sevilla teams, but on the basis of everything Iāve said it would be harsh to not extend his contract.

Good discussion. My vote is also a clear yes. Plays hard even when lacking in top end quality. But fills in in many positions and a solid rotation player, especially for a team without unlimitted funding.
@JakobJarc why are you concerned about his salary? this cite says heās making 2.6M euros per yearā¦ 16th highest on the team. that seems reasonable, no? meanwhile Rakitic, our adopted son, is making 13.2M, nearly twice as much as the second highest paidā¦ thatās not sustainable and while I lovel Ivan, heās definitely not performing at that level.

I saw that before as well, there are multiple sources but I believe that Rakitic is more around 7.5m which is still massive. If 13m is true, Itās just absurd. You really question our management, with knowing how weāve been lately, fearfully it might be true.

I looked on different site and it said that he has salary around 4,5m and he is fourth most paid player on the team, only behind Rakitic, Papu and Suso. 2,6m a year is more reasonable for him.
interestingā¦ i have no idea which sites are more/less credible for this type of inquiry. but yeah, 4.5 would be WAY more reasonable.
This was exactly my question hereā¦do I like Gudelj as a slot-in player, absolutely. Should he make as much money as Nianzou, Marcao, or Fernando? Certainly not. So yeah, I tend to just trust Monchi and company to balance all those factors when deciding whether to renegotiate a contract.

Leaning towards yes but really depends on how much we pay him. I did read he was one of the highest earners but have no reliable source on this.
He is a reliable backup who was only thrust into starting this season due to injuries and has performed decently. Still we shouldnāt get over ourselves, heās a rotation piece who can hold the line and gives experience and even had the armband for a bit. As heāll be 31 in November a 1+1 or 2+1 would look nice.
:sobs:, then remembers Krycho and sobs harder
Monchi also gave Gud his first handsome contract, better to be more controlled this time.

There definitely needs to be a discussion. Heās never been a flashy player, but he consistently does everything thatās asked of him. He filled in wonderfully for our back line last year when we were ravaged with injuries, and it seems like heās stepped into a leadership role on this team this year. I really like watching him play.

It seems that we might just give him that extension. I voted āNoā cause i donāt see him as a successor to Fernando. If itās to keep him as a backup CB, then iād be fine with it.

Itās obvious that heās established himself as a leader on this team. Iām happy with this resigning.

is it done? or just picking up on an old thread? agree, im very pleased with him in general.
"I am very happy here, everyone knows it . The club is also happy with me, but right now I think we are in a situation in which Sevilla FC is more important than the renewal of Gudelj. But Iām sure it will go very well and I think we will reach an agreement soon, I hope so" , said Gudelj,
Not done yet.
