"Failing to buy Fabiano" in Marseilles © EuroFootball.com

Currently, the club is having trouble attracting Luis Fabiano - Sevilla is demanding a higher sum than the French are willing to pay.

"The offer was absurd," said Sevilla's president Jose Maria del Nido. "We met with representatives of Marseille and they know what we are asking for.

Personally, I would like Fabiano to stay, but the market is the market. If something happens, we are already working on finding alternatives."

According to unofficial information, if the Brazilian leaves, Sevilla would like to replace him with Bryan Ruiz representing Twente.
