Sevilla defender Gonzalo Montiel has attracted interest from several clubs, including Everton, Nottingham Forest, and Borussia Dortmund, according to journalist Uriel Lugt.
Discussions are reportedly underway regarding Montiel’s potential permanent departure from Sevilla, although no formal offers have been made yet.
Montiel, a 27-year-old right-back, could be a valuable addition to Everton’s squad.
His experience at high-level competitions, including winning the World Cup with Argentina (where he scored the decisive penalty), demonstrates his mental strength and ability to perform under pressure.
At Sevilla, Montiel has proven his worth in European competitions, winning the Europa League and showcasing his defensive skills and versatility.
This experience could be particularly beneficial for Everton, especially with Ashley Young struggling in the right-back position.
Montiel’s signing would provide Everton with not just depth in defense, but also a winning mentality and international experience that could enhance the team’s overall performance.
His game-reading abilities, contribution to offensive plays, and defensive soundness align well with Sean Dyche’s tactical approach.
Furthermore, Montiel’s adaptability to various defensive roles could address multiple issues in Everton’s backline.
This versatility makes him an attractive prospect for both immediate impact and long-term squad development at Goodison Park.
