One day was going to pass.

It was predictable.

Gonzalo Montiel had been followed from Europe for a long time.

And the moment of his departure came.

The right-back is going to

Seville

in Spain for an important figure, which will bring economic relief to River.

The operation is for 11 million euros gross, of which the club of Núñez corresponds clean a little more than 8 million of the same currency.

River owns 80 percent, while the remaining 20% ​​belongs to the player and his family.

Therefore, of the more than 8 million euros that remain from Seville's payment, when discounting the 26% that goes to taxes, River would get 6.6 million euros.

But that sum increases since the defender resigns his 15%, which is 1,650,000.

Therefore,

the sum that will enter the ark of Núñez is approximately 8,250,000 euros

. 

In the signing of the transfer, it was also established that River will have a 15% capital gain.

This means that if Sevilla sells Montiel for more than 11 million euros, of the difference in money greater than that amount, Núñez's club will have 15 percent left.

Montiel will travel immediately to join Seville, a club in which he will occupy one of the three places for foreigners (the other two are from "Huevo" Marcos Acuña and the Brazilian Diego Carlos) since he does not have a community passport. This Wednesday, "Cachete" was the protagonist of the cover of the Andalusian newspaper

Estadio Deportivo

, which confirmed that Monchi, the renowned sports director of the Spanish club, had already made the decision to buy it to have it

as an alternative to Jesús Navas

.

In his squad, Seville, directed by the ex Real Madrid and Selection of Spain, Julen Lopetegui, already has four other Argentines.

Besides the "Huevo" Acuña are Alejandro "Papu" Gómez, and the former River, Lucas Ocampos and Erik Lamela, brand new reinforcement.

And Montiel will not be the first right-back of River that the Andalusian club brings to its ranks.

It already happened in mid-2016 with Gabriel Mercado, who played there for three seasons.

Montiel grew up in River. He reached the age of 11, played from Infantile to First, lived in the pension, debuted in the first team in 2016 and, thanks to Marcelo Gallardo, he became a right-back for the National Team.

With the Doll team, he won 8 titles

: a Copa Libertadores, two Recopa Sudamericana, three Copa Argentina and two Super Cup Argentina. And he embraced the Copa América with the National Team just over a month ago, standing out in the final with Brazil at the Maracana.

Born in González Catán 24 years ago, raised in Virrey del Pino, Montiel had the great chance to make the jump to a European League, something that he had been waiting for two years ago when the leadership promised him that before the first offer he would be what I'd let go and he waited patiently. Montiel also

had a great gesture with the club a few months ago by signing the contract renewal when he was able to go free

. For all that, added to what he left soccer on the field and outside of it at the group level, he leaves a great memory. Also, a great void.
