Sevilla are struggling to nail down Adriano to a new contract.

The Brazilian wing-back's agent, Paulo Afonso, has held several rounds of talks with Sevilla sports chief Monchi, but the two parties remain well apart.

Meanwhile, Monchi is having better luck over negotiations with Diego Capel. The Spain midfielder's agent, Pedro Bravo, has already agreed terms with Monchi over a new deal and now they must finalise his buyout clause.
