Gonzalo Montiel was not transferred because he was summoned to testify in Argentina, which prevented Sevilla from selling him. Several clubs were interested in him, especially PSV, but the suspicion of his involvement in a legal case made them desist.

Gonzalo Montiel, following his return from a loan stint at Nottingham Forest, has participated in only 6 matches this season for Sevilla. Due to a legal case involving accusations of sexual abuse, various clubs, including PSV, initially showed interest in acquiring him, but were discouraged by the ongoing investigation. The public prosecutor has requested the case's dismissal, citing insufficient evidence and contradictions in the accuser's account. If the judge approves this request, Montiel will be exonerated, potentially easing his transfer. Sevilla is keen to sell him to bolster their squad.

PSV seemed to be interested in Gonzalo Montiel as a replacement for Jordan Teze, but they appear to have given up on signing the Argentine World Cup winner. The reasons for PSV's withdrawal are not clear.
