Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has confirmed talks with Tottenham winger Giovani dos Santos.
New Sevilla boss and former Racing Santander manager Marcelino Garcia Toral managed the Mexican for the six-month loan, but del Nido admits the transfer is not a formality.
"It is certain that we have spoken with the player (dos Santos) and we interest him, but he is not a unique target for the squad.
"I have made it clear that Sevilla will not pay 8million (£7million) for the player even without knowing if (Frederic) Kanoute will stay with us."
