Sevilla have contacted English Championship side Aston Villa to negotiate for left full back Jordan Amavi, according to reports in Spain.
Marca state Los Rojiblancos have offered €5m for the defender although the Birmingham-based club are demanding that amount for the player who made 34 appearances in the Championship last season.
This follows up on a report in Diario de Sevilla which claimed the Andalucians are hopeful of a deal for the Frenchman following the departure of Benoit Tremoulinas earlier this summer.
Sevilla are now on the market for a backup to Sergio Escudero and have previously registered an interest in Amavi, who joined Villa from Nice in 2015.
