Arsenal's hopes of appointing Monchi as their new technical director has hit a snag as Sevilla president Josa Castro confirmed they are in advanced talks with him.
"Sevilla now needs a sports director, we have looked for the best and the best is Monchi", Sevilla president Jose Castro said of the man who spent nine years as the club's goalkeeper before retiring aged 30.
Monchi worked as the director of football at Sevilla for 17 years until 2017 and was in that role when Emery coached the team to three consecutive Europa League titles.
On March 9th, Marca reported the pair would not have any problem to work together again and the north London club have made a "good offer" for the sporting director.
Monchi was appointed Sevilla's director of football in 2000
The Gunners are facing the possibility of losing out to Sevilla, though, with the Spanish outfit keen to bring the 50-year-old back to the club.
"Our conversations have gone well with him, the conversations have been very receptive".
Sven Mislintat left his role as Arsenal's head of recruitment in February, meanwhile, and Monchi has been strongly linked with a move to the Emirates Stadium over the last few weeks.
"We have begun negotiations and we want to reach an agreement soon. The conversations have been very positive".
