Sevilla president Jose Maria del Nido says a move for Tottenham winger Giovani dos Santos is a non-starter.
The Mexico international rejected a £13 million move to Udinese in the summer as he wanted to join Sevilla.
But Del Nido confessed last night: "We have no ability, nor will we pay what they ask for him at Tottenham. Giovani is not worth 11m.
"It is impossible to get Giovani. We've offered 4.5m and 500,000 in bonuses; this was higher than he was worth in the market. Now he's worth less."
