What happened to Gattoni

Yesterday read that he’s “standing by”. Nothing too promising though…

5-6 days to go… still nothing. Sampaoli is complaining about the lack of transfers, overall it’s not looking good.

What a mess.
Glen Kamara of Rangers is the latest rumor - loan with a 7.5 million signing option.

Bryan Gil has agreed personal terms apparently. Don’t know how true it is.
We desperately need new signings. Just bringing in Bade and Ocampos coming back isn’t good enough.

What do we think about possibly getting Bryan Gil?
We’re in such a tough spot, I saw an article mentioning that out of the top clubs in Europe, Sevilla lost the most value from covid, followed by ManU. It’s going to be tough to get that value back. We desperately need younger players too

It was a mix of poor management + an idiotic coach that contributed to the loss of value.
We’ll need a serious and proper managing for 2-3 seasons in a row to get back on track.

Some of our aging contracts end at the end of next season (Rakitic, Papu, Navas, Fernando, Lamela, Ocampos, and Torres).
Assuming the first four are done and replaced with capable younger players, that value will increase. I think that report was based on Transfermarkt’s total market value. Considering we lost two players that combined were worth $100 million, it makes sense that we would be one of the tops…especially because we haven’t replaced them.

The kind of player we need — young, vibrant and forward-thinking. He’s someone who will feed the striker. Especially now that Sampaoli expressed his interest in him.
I’m curious how the deal will turn out, cause it’s being said Spurs want a €20M obligation to buy in the summer (perhaps to save face from losing in the exchange). So maybe the plan is to drag it out to either lower that figure, or simply keep the loan as an ‘option’ to buy.
Also, welcome to the boards @Packman !!

that’s what I read…pushing for an option, not mandatory. Who freaking knows in this new transfer market.

I also think it is very funny that Isco still hasn’t been signed. I hope he’s frozen out haha.

Thanks! I lived in southern Spain for two years back in 2016 and a good chunk of that in Dos Hermanas and other places near Sevilla, and have really grown to love that country

Once rumored target Brereton Diaz has full agreement to join Villarreal in June as a free agent.
Ounhai is on the verge of joining Marseille for 10m.
Either the board are fully confident this aging team can accomplish wonders or Sevilla can’t attract squat anymore.

Delaney to Hoffenheim seems almost like a done deal. A loan with no option to buy… hopefully Hoffenheim pays 100% of his wages.
If we don’t get a new midfielder to replace him I just don’t know anymore…

The replacement is Pape Gueye according to Fabrizio… Loan with no buy option.

Gattoni is still on, ‘apparently’. ED says he hasn’t trained and has packed his bags according to the ex president.
Jose Campaña had an exemplary performance yesterday and is still a possible late surprise.
Also Pape Gueye as Chris has said.
Between the known and unknown there’s still a chance of surprises in the next 48 hours.

Pape Gueye a loan WITHOUT buying option. That’s sad… talk about proper management.
