The north London club's coach has never hidden his desire to
take the left-sided starlet to White Hart Lane and has met his €15m
asking price, according to Diario de Sevilla.
A deal may have been wrapped up by now had Tottenham not requested
that the two club's split the resulting tax bill, which totals
almost €2.5m.
Sevilla were desperate for Capel to ink a new deal that would see
his buy-out clause increase dramatically, but disagreements between
the player's agents and club president José Maria del Nido have
seen talks fail to begin.
One of Capel's representatives is Sergio Ramos' brother, René, and
he along with Pedro Bravo, could push through the deal that would
see their client triple his current salary in the Premier
League.
Tottenham are believed to have agreed a four-year deal with the
20-year-old and he is keen to work with Juande Ramos once again
after rising to prominence under him in Spain.
Capel's buy.out clause before he had played 40 league games for the
club was €12m and that was when the English outfit first made
contact and put forward their contract proposal to Ramos and
Bravo.
