Sevilla reject Reds' Alves bid
By Peter ORourke - Created on 9 Jun 2006
Sevilla claim they have rejected a bid from Liverpool for Daniel Alves.
Alves is thought to be among Liverpool's top summer transfer targets after tracking him for over a year.
Reds boss Rafa Benitez is keen to bring in a new right-sided midfielder and has earmarked Alves for that role at Anfield.
Barcelona and Milan are both thought to be chasing Alves as well and there could be a massive scramble for his signature this summer.
Sevilla are reluctant to lose Alves and have placed a massive £12 million price tag on his head to try and ward off suitors.
Sevilla president Jose Maria Del Nido revealed the club turned down a substantial bid from Liverpool on Wednesday for Alves.
"It is not necessary to hide that a tempting offer for Alves arrived on Wednesday, but that was rejected because it does not meet the amount the club demands," said Del Nido.
"Everybody knows that Liverpool have been chasing Alves for a year and that every week offers a million Euros more."
Liverpool are hopeful of thrashing out a deal for Alves, but if they fail to land the South American they could turn their attentions to Jermaine Pennant.
Meanwhile, Del Nido insists he will do all he can to sign Javier Saviola.
Saviola spent last season on loan at Sevilla from Barcelona and he was expected to make the move permanent this summer.
However, the player's agent claimed the Argentine ace would not be staying at the Estadio Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan.
Del Nido is refusing to get involved in a row with Saviola's representative and revealed he will do everything to sign him if the club's management want him.
"I am not going to argue with any representative," added Del Nido.
"If the sport department of the club wants us to try and sign him we will deliver him to the attack remembering he is a player who belongs to Barcelona."
