Aston Villa Sporting Director Monchi has unveiled the first three signing sessions that he would make if he had an unlimited budget. Two of his choices play in Spain, which is no surprise to see how often he has looked home for recruits since he moved to the Midlands.
Monchi spoke with Cadena Ser on Thursday evening and explained that he will continue to look at his beloved Sevilla in every match he can. He refused to bind or thought that Los Nervionsens would make European football this year and noted that there is a lot of noise and distractions around his former club.
His side has recently been in the headlines for the sale of Colombian attacker Jhon Duran on Saudi-Arab side Al-Nassr on the melody of € 77 million.
“Just as the offer for Baena has been in the news in Spain, the prime minister has been an important offer here for Mitoma, the Japanese player from Brighton. The club has received an offer of € 65 million and I believe that Brighton has rejected it. He is a young player, of a very high level and they already speculate with these kinds of players … that we know. “
“In the case of Jhon Duran, we knew about PSG, Dortmund, Napoli's interest … He is a player who is being asked of important teams in Europe and eventually went to Saudi Arabia.”
Monchi succeeded in preventing him from talking too much about the current goals, where Villa reportedly looked at Oscar Mingueza, Loic Bade and Juan Foyth in January, next to the deal for Andres Garcia. He spoke about who he would sign for certain positions if money was not an object.
“If I had to sign a winger, I would sign Lamine Yamal because he is going to mark an era. He is a player who is different and has a lot of talent. When you talk to me about a striker, I am a big fan of Halaand. And if you talk to me about a box to box [midfielder]Then Bellingham. “
“I really love Bellingham's profile. The strong, physical all -round player, not without quality, with goals and a finish, it attracts me a lot. And perhaps he is the most complete player in all these areas among these players of such a level. “
Even with the Premier League money and rich owners, it is probably no problem that Monchi should consider in the near future. However, he continues to show a lot of nous on the Spanish market now that he has a little more financial support.
