Sevilla have launched a bid for AC Milan striker Andre Silva.

Sevilla have tabled a €20m cash bid for the Portugal international, which was immediately rejected.

Milan are willing to sell Silva, but Sevilla must go higher to get a deal done. The LaLiga outfit are also in contact with Chelsea for Michy Batshuayi.

Just this week, new Sevilla coach Pablo Machin stated: "André Silva and Michy Batshuayi are of the same level.

"They can perfectly adapt to the game system that I propose.

"I will be glad that one of them can join us. The directors are working a lot."
