Another summer, another dollar, that's the story for Sevilla, as it looks like the Spanish club will once more cash in on strong performances by its players. It seems that history will repeat itself as many of the club's players have caught the eye this year. According to information that has reached MARCA, Liverpool have made an offer of €20 million plus Suso for Alberto Moreno.
This substantial offer means that it's more than likely that the youngster from Cerro del Águila will ply his trade at Anfield next season, since Sevilla are very interested in the deal. Almost everyone in Seville thought the youngster would move on in the summer, but the offer that has come in has surpassed even the most optimistic of expectations.
However, the club from the Nervión district of Seville knew that there was interest in the full-back, because last winter they turned down an offer of €14.5 million from Rafa Benítez's Napoli. "They'll give us more in summer", was the sensible response from the board. And they weren't wrong, because Real Madrid, Chelsea and Liverpool have all been following his progress for months.
Despite all the positive signs, though, nothing is certain yet. Both Mochi, the club's sporting director, and Unai Emery, the manager, are considering whether they are interested in Suso being involved in the transfer, and there are another couple of financial details to iron out.
Liverpool wanted to get in there ahead of other clubs, or a call up to the national squad by Vicente del Bosque that could inflate his price even further.
