This is from the Thisisanfield website:
Daniel Alves
Sevilla, Right back / midfield, Age 22, Brazilian
23/06/06: Sevilla sign right back Andreas Hinkel, perhaps paving the way for Alves to leave.
13/06/06: Sevilla president Jose Marie Del Nido: “We don’t want to sell him but when a player wants to leave you can’t force him to stay.
“He has told us he likes Liverpool’s offer though he isn’t pressuring us.
“They have come back to us with a new offer but we have rejected it.”
Sevilla are rumoured to want in the region of £12m for him.
11/06/06: Alves has been frequently linked for a couple of weeks and is said to be high on Rafa’s wanted list, just the fee Seville are asking seems a problem. Cisse’s injury could affect this one.
Verdict: We are told the deal is ready to be completed, and that the contract has been agreed with the player, Liverpool won’t pay more than 8m though..
Looks like he is on his way. If we get him for 8mil its a good piece of business by rafa.
