Sevilla ‘entire squad on transfer list’ as Europa League winners take on huge debt – Daily Star
Sevilla have reportedly put their entire squad on the transfer list to pay off their €90m (£77m) debt.
The winners of the Europa League are struggling, despite the confirmation of their return to the Champions League after winning another European title this season.
Sevilla beat Jose Mourinho’s AS Roma on penalties to clinch the Europa League for a seventh time – their all-time success since 2006. But a return to Europe’s top table next season doesn’t seem to be enough to pay off their outstanding debt.
Jose Luis Mendilibar’s side finished 12th in La Liga last season after looking nervously over their shoulder after a torrid start to the season and the club’s low standing has apparently failed to help bolster their finances in any shape or form.

It is not known if Monchi left Sevilla due to their financial situation which hampered his transfer plans with the club.
