Sevilla have said that talks with Chelsea about Daniel
Alves could begin if the Blues made an opening bid of 30million
(£20.2million), while Lyon's hopes of snatching Jesus Navas have
been dashed.
The Andalucian club are ready to play tough in order to hang on to
their prize assets and have set the bar high for the Blues,
according to AS.
Jose Mourinho is a big fan of Alves, but will have to increase an
opening bid of 25million (£16.8million) to even make the Sevilla
president, Jose Maria del Nido listen.
"If we receive a bid of 30m then we could start to talk," he
said.
While Alves is still a big part of the club's plans, Sevilla
believe that he could be sacrificed if Chelsea were ready to pay
such a huge sum.
In recent seasons, the current Uefa Cup holders have sold Julio
Baptista, Jose Antonio Reyes and Sergio Ramos and have continued to
thrive.
