Matteo Moretto's Transfer Column: Leny Yoro, Barcelona dressing room to Xavi the chaos and the search for the Sevilla manager
Matteo Moretto gives Football España exclusive information on the latest business dominating the newspapers in Spain, as revealed in Daily Briefing by Fabrizio Romano.
The new club for Maurizio Sarri is not closed despite the request of four offers
The reality is that Sarri has nothing advanced with any club right now, according to my information. Bologna asked about him as a potential replacement for Thiago Motta, and Sevilla also asked about him, but the truth is that he is waiting for an offer and a project to come that he is in love with.
On Monday, Sarri did an interview where he said he had four approaches from clubs abroad, he has been heavily linked to Milan, but I can rule him out as an option at San Siro. I guess I was waiting for what might come out in the market, but there is no advanced negotiation right now.
Sevilla have former assistant Unai Emery shortlisted for a managerial role
Sevilla were interested in the departure of the head of Osasuna, Jagoba Arrasate, but he basically gave his word to RCD Mallorca that he will come to replace Javier Aguirre, as long as they are not relegated to Segunda. On Sunday night, they cleared security, so it looks like he will go to Mallorca in the end. Sevilla tried to take him and tried to close the deal, but as long as Mallorca did not go down, Arrasate was happy to go.
Now Sevilla are still looking for their next candidate. The head of Torino, Ivan Juric, has been talked about a lot, but I have no information that Sevilla will go for him. Then Sarri was called, but things didn't go any further.
They have a shortlist, but it is very open to change, as seen with Sarri and Juric, who are not in the running as it is. One of the various names being considered is former Granada manager and Atletico de Sevilla coach Diego Martinez, but one of many, and no decision has been made yet.
Barcelona players are shocked by the rumors about the future of Xavi Hernandez
It's hard to know what happens with Xavi Hernandez just yet, they will talk next week, but it is not an exaggeration to say that something can happen. It remains true that Xavi has not been given any indication that the situation has changed.
Now, there are players on the way to Barcelona who are in shock, they don't know what to think. There are different dynamics at play, for example, if you have Xavi there, you know that he will give young players a chance, and that he trusts Robert Lewandowski. But it's more about the atmosphere, first it seemed that Xavi would continue, and now there are doubts.
A case to keep an eye on, logically, is Vitor Roque. The Brazilian has not had much playing time, and his situation is one that could change depending on the manager.
How much is Real Madrid willing to spend on Lille wonderkid Leny Yoro?
There are interested clubs from Paris Saint-Germain and the Premier League that Real Madrid has as competition, and they don't want to spend a lot of money. Leny Yoro – Free Mp3 Download. At a “reasonable” price they will be happy to do business, but the truth is that Real Madrid will probably offer less than 40 million euros for Yoro.
Undoubtedly Lille is asking a lot (60 million euros, according to several reports from others), but the economic side of the deal remains important for Real Madrid. They are not going to throw money out the window for a boy who, as brilliant as he is, and even if Real Madrid is his priority, is out of contract in 2025. So it could be difficult.
Matteo Moretto will be back with more transfer news in the coming days, providing exclusive information on the biggest stories in Spain and Italy.
