Monchi: Sevilla keen to keep Banega and Gameiro

Monchi is hopeful that Sevilla can secure the services of the influential duo Ever Banega and Kevin Gameiro beyond this season.

Gameiro has scored 28 times in all competitions for Sevilla this season, which has reportedly caught the attention of Barcelona. While Banega is being closely tracked by Inter. 

But, Monchi hopes that Banega and Gameiro can both be tied down to new contracts. 

"We decided to focus on our competitions and we told this to [Banega's] agent," Monchi said.

"We want Ever to play both finals and then we will sit down to negotiate with him. He has a contract with Sevilla next year and I only can predict that we will negotiate."

When asked about Gameiro he said, "I think it will be the summer of Gameiro, but to renew his contract.

"The economic stability of the club will allow us to handle this with more time."

Only time will tell...
