The signing of Gonzalo Montiel by PSV Eindhoven was very close to happening this summer, but it was thwarted due to the player's serious off-field issues. The Sevilla defender, who was a world champion with Argentina and also won the Copa America, did not have concrete offers to leave the club, despite not being a priority for the sports management or coach Francisco Javier García Pimienta.

It was all set, but PSV backed out

However, offers did exist, and the closest one to being finalized was precisely with the Dutch team. As reported by the newspaper AS, negotiations between Sevilla, PSV, and the player had reached a good point, with contracts ready to be signed. But at the last moment, PSV decided to withdraw from the deal due to the uncertainty generated by Montiel's legal situation, related to an off-field incident that occurred in 2019.

Despite the player's lawyers asserting that there is solid evidence proving his innocence, PSV chose not to take risks and let the transfer fall through. This setback has left Montiel in a difficult position within Sevilla, where he will have to work to earn a place in the team while his legal issues are resolved. His future is expected to remain uncertain at least until January, when the transfer market opens again, and the legal status of the Argentine full-back becomes decisive for his continuity or departure from the Seville club.
