– Ex-Real Madrid star Isco reveals he left Sevilla because of Monchi’s assault
Former Real Madrid star Isco has claimed that Sevilla sporting director Monchi "assaulted" him in the club's offices last year after a fierce argument.
The argument came after Monchi began leaking to the media that Isco wanted to leave Sevilla
Isco said he had no interest in leaving and the club were forcing him out as they were in financial trouble
and that Monchi was "calling me everyday to urge me to rescind my contract".
Isco left Sevilla in December 2022 after a dire four month spell. He has been without a club for seven months.
The allegations are serious and could have legal consequences for Monchi.
They have also damaged the reputation of Sevilla, who have denied the allegations.
