In recent years, Sevilla's performance has declined significantly, and now one of their key players is facing legal troubles.
Details: According to El Confidencial, police have arrested Sevilla central defender Kike Salas on suspicion of violating betting regulations.
The player is accused of deliberately receiving yellow cards during Sevilla matches to allow those close to him to profit significantly from betting on these events.
Salas is currently in police custody, providing testimony.
Reminder: Previously, Newcastle midfielder Sandro Tonali was banned for one year for violating betting regulations. He has since served his suspension.
