Aston Villa transfer chief Monchi is a target for the potential new owners of his former club Sevilla.
Monchi was hand picked by Villa boss Unai Emery for the role of ‘president of football operations’ and runs the playing side along with Emery and director of football Damian Vidagany.
Monchi made his name with a series of impressive signings across two spells at Sevilla and now investors Antonio Lappi and Fede Quintero hope to bring him back for a third stint - if they can mount a successful takeover bid.
‘Sevilla has achieved far more than its own capabilities,’ said Quintero.
