9 Superstars Who Could Leave Sevilla As Europa League Winners Reportedly Battle Huge Debt

• Sevilla have reportedly put their entire squad up for sale if a suitable offer arrives
• The UEFA Europa League winners are in debt and will look to recoup some funds from player sales
• They have some exciting players in their books including goalkeeper Yassine Bono

Sevilla should be a poaching ground for European teams after reports emerged that the whole squad is touchable as the club are looking to recoup funds.

This comes after the Spanish club won a record-extending seventh UEFA Europa League League crown, beating Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma at the Puskas Arena in Budapest, Hungary.

Radio Marca reported that the club has a €90m debt and will need to recoup funds which explains why former sporting director Monchi left and former Leeds United director Victor Orta was brought in.

Sports Brief looks at eight players other clubs can target as Rojilosblancos make all players transferrable, including World Cup winner Gonzalo Montiel.
