Sevilla chasing midfield talent

Sevilla sporting director Monchi had confirmed to the press yesterday that his club will spend the money received from the sale of Ivan Rakitic to Barcelona to find a new midfielder.

"We're following good players: Mathieu Valbuena, Xherdan Shaqiri, Dusan Tadic, Carlos Carmona, Marcelo Brozovic, Benjamin Stambouli."

"But we work with discretion because a lack of discretion can be harmful," said the club Sporting Director. Sevilla are expected to wrap up a deal for Mathieu Valbuena this week.
