Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco are also eyeing up a swoop for the left-back, with Villa expecting to receive at least £10.5m for him.

The 23-year-old has been placed on the transfer list by the Championship side, as he seeks a move to an elite European club.

Villa boss Steve Bruce is trying to raise funds to rebuild his squad and transform them into promotion contenders next season.

Vocal Villa chairman Tony Xia claimed to have rejected a £25m offer for the left-back in January.

He stated at the time the reason was that Amavi “will grow bigger” at the club, but their stance now appears to have changed.

Just six months later they are now ready to cut their losses and allow him to depart.

Sevilla are attempting to bolster their squad after qualifying for next season’s Champions League.

But they are not the only interested party in Amavi.

Amavi played 36 matches for Villa in all competitions last season and is a French Under-21 international.
