Fulham have made an offer for Sevilla’s World Cup winning full-back Gonzalo Montiel, according to a Teamtalk report this afternoon.
The La Liga outfit are looking to sell their Argentinian international right back, who was an unused substitute in their opening league game of the new season last Friday night, in order to ease their financial predicament. The 26 year-old did feature as a late substitute in the Super Cup defeat by Manchester City on Wednesday evening – and scored his penalty, just as he did when Sevilla beat Roma in May’s UEFA Europa League final. The defender has attracted interest from across Europe but Sevilla are keen to conclude a permanent departure from the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan Stadium – which the Whites are now offering.
Montiel, who scored the winning penalty against France to clinch the World Cup for his country last December, is said to keen on plying his trade in the Premier League. Fulham have been seeking competition for Marco Silva’s first choice right back Kenny Tete this summer and have alighted on the attack-minded former River Plate man having been frustrated in their attempts to sign Leicester City’s Timothy Castagne.
If you offer peanuts for a player you will get frustrated so pay up or move on. Better still get rid of TK problem solved.
Spanish press are saying the bid is £8.5m so it is hardly peanuts
Apparently he is 3rd choice at Seville so that is concerning. They obviously do not rate him but want 8.5 million for him
