# Aston Villa demand more from Sevilla for Jordan Amavi

Aston Villa have told Sevilla to double their offer for full-back Jordan Amavi after Villa rejected the first bid tabled by the La Liga side, according to [MARCA.](https://www.marca.com/futbol/sevilla/2017/06/26/5950b45b468aebd8658b4586.html).

Amavi looks increasingly likely to leave Villa Park this summer as the Championship side look to raise funds for new signings.

Villa chairman Tony Xia bragged that the club rejected a £25million bid for Amavi in January, but the Financial Fair Play restrictions on the club now mean that they are willing to accept a much lower offer for the player.

Sevilla made an opening bid of £5.3million for the defender’s services but Villa are wanting to recoup the £9million they paid Nice for the 23-year-old back in 2015.

Amavi struggled for form at Villa last season as Steve Bruce’s side slumped to a 13th place finish in the Championship, with the Villa boss reportedly placing Amavi on the transfer list as a result of his inconsistency.
