Sevilla boss Emery has vowed to keep Kondogbia

Sevilla manager Unai Emery is determined to hold onto youngster Geoffrey Kondogbia and has revealed that the player will be allowed to leave only if a club meets his buy out price.

The La Liga side has been depleted this summer following the departures of Alvaro Negredo and Jesus Navas to Manchester City while Gary Medel made his switch to Premier League new boys Cardiff City.


There seems to be intense interest in the 20 year old Kondogbia with a host of English clubs including Arsenal and the Manchester duo monitoring his situation. 


However, Emery has insisted that the club are not willing to let the highly rated defender leave unless any of his suitors agree to meet the €20 million buy out orice in his current contract.


"We want to have continuity at Sevilla. I have spoken with the president [about Kondogbia] and only a big-money offer changes that idea," he said.
