Aston Villa full back Jordan Amavi is set to leave Villa Park and move to La Liga side Sevilla in a deal worth up to €10 million, according to Mercato journalist Julien Maynard.
It was reported that Sevilla had an original €6 million offer turned down by the Championship side last week, as they wanted closer to €10 million for the Frenchman, with Sevilla now increasing their offer to match Villa’s valuation.

It has looked very likely that Amavi will move on from Villa Park, after the defender was placed on the transfer list this summer, being deemed surplus to requirements by manager Steve Bruce as he prepares for his first full season with Villa.
Amavi joined Villa two years ago from Nice for a fee around £9 million, making 36 appearances last season in the Championship, with the Midland side looking set to recoup the £9 million back this summer.
