Sevilla are moving for AS Monaco defender Benoit Badiashile.

Sevilla chief Monchi has made contact with Monaco for the stopper as they agree to sell Jules Kounde to Barcelona.

Knowing Sevilla will be flush with funds from Kounde's sale, ASM have slapped a €50m price-tag on Badiashile.

For their part, Monchi regards ASM's valuation as too steep and are pushing them to drop their demands.

Sevilla rate the 21 year-old closer to €30m.
