Monchi Discusses Potential Barcelona Role

Speaking with Sport, Monchi revealed that he engaged in conversations regarding a potential role at FC Barcelona.

Insights into the Discussions

Monchi stated, “We were associated with several major clubs. However, these were merely minor inquiries; I wouldn’t even classify them as contacts… just rumors, you know?”

Commitment to Sevilla

He added, “When I returned from Rome after parting with a compelling project that included the option to join Arsenal, I chose to remain at Sevilla, intending to stay there indefinitely.”

Circumstances Leading to Changes

Monchi continued, “Later, certain circumstances—of which I’ve spoken about on numerous occasions—prompted my move to Birmingham (Aston Villa). At that point, the situation at Barcelona entailed nothing beyond mere speculation and a few phone calls, but there was nothing of substance.”
