At the weekend, we relayed news from Spain that Aston Villa are getting closer to reaching an agreement with Sevilla for Marcos Acuña’s transfer after an ‘initial coldness’ between the two clubs.

Monday’s ABC Sevilla states there’s still ‘a huge question mark’ over the left-back’s future.

It’s claimed Aston Villa’s approach for the 31-year-old has earned a ‘declaration of non grato’ [unwelcome or unacceptable] at the La Liga side.

The Premier League side have a firm desire to sign him but aren’t willing to dig deep into their pockets to secure his services.

This is echoed by Diario de Sevilla, who state the bids tabled by Unai Emery’s side haven’t pleased the Europa League winners.

Diario de Sevilla add there’s unlikely to be any movements until the English club decide to meet the Spanish side’s demands.

El Chiringuito journalist Gonzalo Tortosa claims Sevilla want a minimum of €15m for the defender, which the Villans are refusing to meet. Therefore, the ‘negotiations [are] broken’ between Aston Villa and the Andalusian club for the South American.

Those negotiations could be salvaged in the coming days.
