Gonzalo Montiel’s loan at Nottingham Forest was supposed to expire, according to several reports in the Sevilla-area media in the weeks preceding Christmas.
The Spanish club was quite disappointed since they had been hoping for the loan to be approved and for the purchase clause to be activated.
That provision, which is reportedly valued at €10 million, becomes obligated if Nottingham Forest and Montiel reach a predetermined amount of markers.
Sevilla had given up and the idea of moving to South America was considered the answer, albeit at a reduced cost.
Then, over the Christmas break, Montiel addressed the media, expressing his gratitude to God for the chance to play in the Premier League and making it known that he is thrilled with his current situation.
What’s the difference? Nuno Espirito Santo, who AS claims has “changed everything” since joining the club, is the reason behind everything.
Sevilla is now hopeful that Nuno will keep giving Montiel opportunities, which will allow the €10 million permanent transfer to Nottingham Forest to take place.
