The success of Monchi at Sevilla has led him to become a candidate for Real Madrid.
Florentino Perez has considered bolstering the football operations department of Real Madrid, especially since Jorge Valdano left the club following a run-in with Jose Mourinho.
Perez has long been known to be an admirer of Monchi, who has built an outstanding team on a limited budget at Sevilla.
Monchi has been director of football at Sevilla since 2000.
