Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido has warned Luis Fabiano over new contract demands.
The Brazil international has been outstanding this season and Del Nido has confirmed negotiations will soon begin over a new deal.
"They will be long and complex," said Del Nido. "This is going to take some time, several months. But the good thing is that the player is happy in Seville and we are happy with him. Especially now that he is scoring goals by the dozens."
