Yeah. Good call unless you're just going by reports from Valencia?

Loan Schelotto to Europe for a season, then he can be back up next season when (surely) El capitano calls it a day

He hasn't signed yet. Don't jinx it!

One of them has to go as this signing would put us over the limit of non HGP.
Both would be third choice in their respective positions so unlikely to get much game time. I'd be surprised if we binned them both off though unless we sign a fourth centre back. If we don't I guess Schelotto would be on the chopping block as both Bernardo and Balogun can apparently play there if needed while Bernardo can also play centre back so if he's co-opted as the fourth choice centre back then we'd likely want to keep Sutner as LB cover.
It's going to be interesting(provided we actually sign Montoya...)
Edit: Just seen that Montoya is two footed and can play left back so who knows!

I could see Schelotto being the odd man out, Suttner could be retained as back up for Bong should we need to use Bernardo as a centre back.

Martin Montoya has opted to join Brighton and Hove Albion.
The 27-year-old Spanish full-back had been in talks with Fulham but Chris Hughton has persuaded him to move to the south coast and the Valencia defender is poised to sign this afternoon.
Montoya will compete with Ezequiel Schelotto and veteran Brighton captain Bruno Saltor for a play in Hughton's starting XI.
He has just enjoyed two years of regular football at Valencia having been on the fringes of the first-team at Barcelona for the early part of his career.
Montoya, now 27, made 67 appearances in five seasons at Barcelona, being used mostly as a back-up for Dani Alves before being loaned out to Inter and Real Betis.
Montoya will become Brighton's 10th signing of the summer.
