Jesús Navas moved to Manchester City in the summer of 2013 after a £14.9million pound bid was accepted by the La Liga outfit. Despite the talented Spaniard improving in the second-half of the 2014/15 campaign, he hasn't exactly impressed on a consistent basis for the Citzens. Sevilla meanwhile, have admitted they would love him to return to the club where he started his career.
Spanish reunion on the cards?
Inside Futbol report stated: "Sevilla sporting director Monchi admits that Los Rojiblancos would love to re-sign Jesus Navas from Manchester City. Navas started his career at Sevilla, breaking through to the senior side and becoming a firm fan favourite. But the club sold him to City in 2013. Nevertheless, they continue to dream of once again being able to call on the services of Navas."
He has said that no contact has been made, no bid has been tabled yet for the Spanish international. He has scored just the seven goals in 95 appearences for the Citizens and provided 24 assists. In his first season at the club, he won the Capital One Cup and the Premier League double.
For the immediate future though, it seems likely that Jesus will be staying with the sky Blues, as they look to challenge for the league title again after an inconsistent spell last term. Eventual winners Chelsea were comfortable in the second-half of the season, and overall, City underperformed in regards to the sheer talent and quality at their disposal. Sevilla meanwhile, have done some rather shrewd business of their own.
Sevilla shrewd in the transfer market
First, they secured the services of Dnipro winger Yevhen Konoplyanka. The Ukranian internatioal has signed a four-year contract for the reigning UEFA Europa League champions on a free transfer from the Ukranians. And in the past twenty-four hours, they've brought in Stoke midfielder Steven N'Zonzi for a fee believed to be around £7million pounds.
Sevilla's vice-president Jose Maria del Nido Carrasco told El Desmarque the following: "We'd love to have him, but we've not made any offer, we're not interested right now, nor do we consider him as being available to come here."
