Gonzalo Montiel’s ups and downs at Nottingham Forest have always been avidly watched by the Seville press, and his recent absence is no exception.
The fullback has been absent from the Reds’ previous two Premier League matches, raising concerns about his future at the club.
According to Estadio Deportivo, Montiel’s permanent move to Nottingham Forest could be ‘put at risk’ due to his ‘rollercoaster’ lifestyle.
The loan agreement between the teams includes a stipulation stating that the Tricky Trees may be compelled to purchase Montiel for €11 million if a certain amount of appearances are met.
According to the narrative, Sevilla first assumed that target would be easy to attain and would result in a ‘guaranteed’ amount of money for the club. That money was previously allocated for incoming transfers.
The problem is that Montiel had a difficult start at Nottingham Forest, and despite some opportunities this year, his career appears to have imploded.
Montiel is still recovering from an injury and is unlikely to play this weekend. That only makes Sevilla more concerned about the situation, and the local media will be tracking all of his moves from now until the end of the season.
